Saint-Charles-Borromée church, Catholic church in 1st district, Marseille, France.

The church features a neoclassical design with four ionic columns on its facade and a central dome decorated with papal and episcopal coats of arms.

The construction started in 1826 after Bishop Fortuné de Mazenod authorized the project to address the lack of worship places on the Old Port's south bank.

The church holds the traditional opening mass for the Commercial Court and contains a statue of Saint Yves, patron saint of legal professions.

Located at 17 Rue Breteuil and 66 Rue Grignan, the church has celebrated the extraordinary form of Roman rite since 2007.

The pipe organ, built by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll in 1859, represents a notable example of the craftmanship of this renowned organ-building family.

Location: 1st arrondissement of Marseille

Inception: 1868
