Tourists should pay attention to the Basilica of Notre Dame de la Garde: mosaics, marble and marine-themed canvases are used as decoration of the interior decoration of the basilica. As for the bell tower of the temple, it is crowned with a gilded statue of the Virgin Mary, 11 m high. The observation deck, which offers a beautiful panorama of the city and the Gulf of Marseilles, is also of interest. Since the basilica is located on a hill, almost 150 m high, everyone will have to climb a high staircase (those who do not want to walk can use the services of buses - they carry travelers from the Old Port to the top of the hill).
