Théâtre National de la Criée, National theater at Vieux-Port, Marseille, France
The National Theater La Criée occupies a former fish market building with a preserved historical facade at 30 Quai de Rive-Neuve in Marseille.
The structure operated as a fish auction hall from 1909 to 1976 before its conversion into a theater in 1981 under Marcel Maréchal's direction.
The theater maintains two performance spaces: a main auditorium with 800 seats and a flexible space accommodating 280 people for various artistic presentations.
La Criée offers free theater workshops for adults and provides special programs for families, students, and groups throughout the performance season.
The inscription 'Criée libre aux poissons' remains carved on the building's facade, preserving its connection to its original function as a fish market.
