Église Saint-Michel Archange

The church of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, locally called "Church of the Reformed", owes its current name to a chapel of the reformed Augustinians of the seventeenth century who occupied this site. Destroyed in 1868, it was replaced by the current church inaugurated in 1886. The church is registered as a historical monument since 2015.

The history of the Church of Notre Dame Du Mont began in the 16th century. But, at the same place, in the 6th century, a church dedicated to St Etienne had been built. It is therefore on this same site that the Church of Our Lady of the Mount of Rome was later built. It is known as the Church of the Seamen. Thus, sailors who survived a tragedy at sea, shipwrecks, would come to this place to gather. Construction began on April 14, 1823 and was completed in 1824. It was consecrated on February 29, 1824 by Bishop Fortuné de Mazenod.

The Bernardine nuns, reformed Cistercian nuns, founded a first convent in Marseilles in 1637 on the new quayside, on the estate of the "King's Garden", spending 800,000 pounds for this construction and settling there on 20 August 1751. The building of the convent and its church was first entrusted to the architect Pierre-Paul Bruand and then to the Marseille architect Balthazar Dreveton. Today the building is transformed into a theatre.
