Saint-Lazare, Administrative quarter in third district of Marseille, France.

Saint-Lazare extends over 55.2 hectares with residential buildings, public services, and educational facilities surrounding the prominent Porte d'Aix monument.

The quarter originated in the 13th century as a leprosarium called Domus S. Lazari de Cart, later transformed into a mental hospital in 1692.

The Saint-Lazare church, inaugurated in 1833, features neoclassical architecture and stands as a testament to the district's response to cholera epidemics.

The district connects to central Marseille through metro stations Saint-Charles and Jules Guesde, plus twelve bus lines serving the neighborhood's 10,082 residents.

The Triumphal Arch, completed in 1839, displays ornate pillar decorations by Marneuf commemorating French military victories and Republican values.

Location: 3rd arrondissement of Marseille
