Description
Église Saint-Vincent-de-Paul is a Gothic Revival church in Marseille's 1st arrondissement featuring two tall spires that rise above the surrounding streets. The building showcases ornate wooden doors decorated with bronze elements and colored glass windows throughout its interior.
History
Construction began in 1855 under architect François Reybaud on the site of an earlier Augustinian chapel from 1611 that was demolished. The work stretched across several decades before the church reached its final form in the late 1800s.
Culture
The church contains bronze-decorated wooden doors designed by Caras-Latour and stained glass windows created by Edouard Didron.
