15th arrondissement of Marseille

The 15th arrondissement of Marseille is a northern district composed of eleven distinct neighborhoods such as Les Aygalades, La Cabucelle, and Saint-Louis. The area spans a significant territory and connects different residential zones with their own structures and features.

The district experienced significant growth during the 1960s when new residential areas were built and many people moved to the region. This development transformed the landscape and made it an important residential area for the city.

Each neighborhood develops its own character through local squares and shops where residents gather and spend time together. The different areas maintain their own traditions and create small communities within the larger district.

The district is well connected by public transport, with several bus lines and two train stations named Saint-Antoine and Saint-Joseph le Castellas. These connections make traveling to central Marseille and other parts of the city straightforward and convenient.

The area houses different types of residential architecture, from older structures to modern new buildings, reflecting the history of urban development. This diversity makes the district an interesting example of how Marseille has changed over decades.
