Église des Grands-Carmes, Gothic church in 2nd arrondissement, Marseille, France
The Église des Grands-Carmes stands on a hill with a single nave interior and ten side chapels adorned with religious statues and decorative elements.
Carmelite monks from Mount Carmel established their first monastery outside the city walls in 1238 before relocating within Marseille in 1285.
The main altar, created in 1733 by Antoine Duparc, features gilded wood sculptures and holds a large painting by Michel Serre depicting Sabbatine indulgence.
The church maintains regular visiting hours and stands near public transportation, with multiple metro stations within walking distance of the building.
The bell tower transformed from a square to an octagonal structure due to deterioration of its corners, creating an architectural adaptation visible today.
