La Canebière, Historic street in Marseille 1st arrondissement, France
La Canebière extends one kilometer from the Old Port to the Réformés quarter, functioning as the central artery of Marseille's urban network.
The street's construction began in 1671 under Louis XIV's reign, marking a significant expansion phase of Marseille's development towards the harbor.
The area transformed from hemp fields into a commercial center, with the name deriving from Provençal 'Canabiera', reflecting its past as a rope-making district.
The street connects to multiple transport options, including Line T2 of the Marseille Tramway and metro stations at Noailles and Vieux-Port.
The assassination of Yugoslavia's King Alexander I occurred on this street in 1934, leading to substantial changes in local security measures.
