Jardin des Vestiges, Archaeological garden in 1st arrondissement, Marseille, France.

The Jardin des Vestiges features ancient Greek fortifications, Roman roads, and port structures spread across 10,000 square meters of excavated land.

During the Centre Bourse construction in 1967, workers uncovered significant archaeological remains that led to a decade-long excavation of ancient Massalia.

The garden exhibits numerous artifacts from Greek and Roman periods, including a preserved 23-meter vessel and limestone fortification walls from the 5th century BC.

The site connects directly to the Museum of History inside the Exchange Center, with accessibility provisions and operating hours from Tuesday through Sunday.

Three square defense towers and a gateway from the second century BC stand alongside 180-meter-long Roman quays with original unloading stairs.
