Eglise Saint-Laurent, Romanesque parish church in Le Panier district, Marseille, France
The stone church features three naves separated by square pillars and stands on a hilltop overlooking the Old Port of Marseille.
Dating from the 12th century, the church was constructed on the former site of an Apollo temple, with a capital artifact now displayed at the Marseille History Museum.
The church maintains its role as a spiritual center for the fishing community of Marseille, continuing a tradition that spans over eight centuries.
Visitors can access the church through organized walking tours or by using the nearby public transportation stops located within 500 meters of the building.
Every August 15, local residents carry a golden wooden statue of Virgin Mary through the streets of Le Panier in a traditional procession.
