Église Saint-Ferréol les Augustins, Gothic church near Old Port, Marseille, France

Église Saint-Ferréol les Augustins has a flat white and pale grey facade with pilasters, a triangular pediment topped by a stone cross, and two small urns on the outer corners. A central niche above the rounded doorway holds a standing figure under a shell-like arch. A separate square bell tower with a clock and arched openings stands to the right. Inside, the nave is covered by a vault completed in 1588, and the neogothic pipe organ by Augustin Zieger dates from 1844.

The site was originally used by the Knights Templar before passing to Augustinian hermits in 1369. A new church building rose in 1447 and was later reworked in neogothic style.

Under the Ancien Régime, guilds held their patronal ceremonies here: bakers dedicated a chapel to Saint Honoré in 1489, and ship-porters built an altar to Saint Peter because he carries the keys of heaven as they carried the world's goods. The church is now named after Saint Ferréol de Vienne, a 3rd-century martyr, replacing a Marseille church destroyed in the Revolution.

The church stands on Quai des Belges at the bottom of the Old Port, with its entrance set back from the waterfront between rue du Beausset and rue de Reine Élisabeth. It is open every weekday from 9AM to 6:30PM; weekday Mass is at 12PM and 6PM, Saturday Mass at 6PM, Sunday Mass at 9:30AM, 11AM and 7PM. The separate square bell tower with the clock stands to the right of the facade, so the two parts are seen from different angles on the street.

On 28 October 1533 Pope Clement VII married his niece Catherine de' Medici to Henry, second son of the French king, in this church; the future Henry II was crowned in 1547. The nave was then still covered only by a wooden roof frame, and the vault was not finished until 1588.
