Maison Diamantée, Private mansion in Old Port district, Marseille, France
The Maison Diamantée features stone blocks cut into diamond-shaped points across its facade, standing three stories tall behind the City Hall.
Built between 1570 and 1600 by Spanish and Italian merchants, the mansion represents one of the oldest residential buildings in Marseille.
The building housed the Museum of Old Marseille from 1967 to 2009, preserving local heritage collections now displayed at the History Museum.
Visitors can reach the mansion by walking from the Old Port metro station, with guided tours available through the Marseille Tourist Office.
The mansion survived the 1943 district demolitions, remaining as one of the last examples of Renaissance architecture in the city center.
