Église Saint-Théodore, Baroque Catholic church in 1st arrondissement, Marseille, France.

The church features a Renaissance facade with four pilasters, a triangular pediment, and a dome that illuminates the central chancel area.

Originally built as a Recollets convent chapel and consecrated in 1648, the church transformed into a parish building following the French Revolution in 1802.

The interior displays numerous religious artworks, including a large painting of Saint Louis departing for the crusades by Jacques-Antoine Beaufort.

Located at 3 Rue des Dominicaines, the church maintains regular visiting hours and hosts concerts to support its preservation efforts.

The pipe organ installation required special permission through a papal bull from Pope Benedict XIV, bypassing traditional Recollets restrictions.

Location: 1st arrondissement of Marseille

Architectural style: baroque architecture
