Église du Saint-Esprit, Roman Catholic church in central Aix-en-Provence, France
The Église du Saint-Esprit exhibits a rectangular layout with transept and side aisles, featuring vertical pilasters on its understated facade design.
The construction of the church started in 1706 under architect Laurent Vallon and concluded in 1726, replacing a former hospital of the Order of the Holy Ghost.
The church preserves an Assumption of the Virgin triptych retable from 1505 and multiple paintings transferred from the demolished Comtal Palace in 1787.
The church maintains daily operating hours from 7:30 AM to 11:00 PM, offering regular Mass services and serving as the primary parish for university students.
The main altar, designed by Auguste Ramel and crafted by Jean-Baptiste Casella, remains the sole original altar preserved in Aix-en-Provence.
