Église Notre-Dame-de-la-Major d'Arles, Romanesque church near Roman Arena in Arles, France.
The Notre-Dame-de-la-Major church stands on Place de la Major, featuring strong walls, rounded arches, and a prominent bell tower from 1579.
Originally consecrated in 452 by Archbishop Ravennius, the church was built on the site of a Roman temple and reconstructed in Provençal Romanesque style in 1152.
The church serves as the headquarters for the Guardians of Saint George Brotherhood, who organize an annual pilgrimage every May 1st.
Located at 16 Place de la Major, the church exterior remains visible to visitors while interior access is restricted due to ongoing restoration work.
The bell tower received a Virgin and Child statue in 1867 and houses a clock mechanism installed in 1869.
