Marseille, Stone statue in Place de la Concorde, France
The Marseille statue features a seated female figure holding a caduceus, symbolizing the maritime commerce of the Mediterranean port city.
The statue, completed in 1838 by sculptor Pierre Petitot, was part of a series of eight monuments representing major French cities at Place de la Concorde.
The crown shaped like a castle and the maritime symbols integrated into the statue design reflect the historical importance of Marseille as a trading port.
Visitors can reach the statue through multiple Metro lines including 1, 8, 12, and 14, with the closest station being Concorde.
The statue stands on a Guerite de Gabriel pavilion at the southernmost corner of Place de la Concorde, near the Seine River crossing.
