Église la Trinité-la Palud, Roman Catholic church in 1st arrondissement of Marseille, France.

The Église la Trinité-la Palud stands at 35 rue de La Palud in Marseille's 1st arrondissement, wedged into the dense inner-city blocks near the Old Port. Its tall pale stone facade has a framed dark-doored entrance under a rectangular inscription panel, a round moulded window above, and a statue in a niche to the right; a carved cornice runs along the top. Inside, the classical-style building has three naves, with the chapels of Saint Sérénus and of the Virgin added in 1845.

The Trinitarians settled in Marseille in 1658, but their church was lost during the French Revolution: the convent and church were sold in 1792 and demolished in 1794. Champion de Cicé, acting bishop of Marseille, bought land on part of the old convent on 31 December 1806, and the city took over the site by decree of 5 September 1810. The church was built from 1808 to 1829, blessed on 26 March 1825 by Bishop Fortuné de Mazenod and consecrated on 24 November 1829, then enlarged until 1891.

The street outside was renamed Rue de La Palud after Madeleine Demandolx de La Palud, the penitent whose 1611 witchcraft accusation against the priest Louis Gaufridy led to his execution at Aix. Inside, the chapel of the Trinitarian order holds a painting by Théo Mayan showing the Virgin with Félix de Valois and Jean de Matha, the order's founders.

The church stands at 35 Rue de La Palud in the 1st arrondissement, wedged into the dense inner-city blocks near the Old Port, on the border with the 6th arrondissement. The entrance is the framed doorway with dark doors beneath the inscribed panel; a second wooden door opens to its right. The campanile was raised by 9 m in 1891.

In the pavement near the baptismal chapel lies a paleochristian mosaic floor from the 5th century, brought here from the baptistery of the Vieille Major cathedral. Look down rather than up: the choir stalls' wooden armrests are carved with pelicans, a bird shown striking its own flank, a symbol of Christ's sacrifice.
