The Cathedral La Major, officially known as the Cathédrale Sainte-Marie-Majeure de Marseille, is a massive Roman Catholic cathedral located in the heart of Marseille, France. The cathedral is known for its distinctive Byzantine-style architecture and serves as the seat of the Archbishop of Marseille. Construction of the cathedral began in the 1850s, and it was consecrated in 1896. The exterior of the cathedral is decorated with intricate mosaics and features a massive dome that dominates the Marseille skyline. The interior is equally stunning, with colorful frescoes, soaring columns, and an impressive altar. The cathedral is also home to a museum that showcases its history and religious artifacts. Today, the Cathedral La Major is a popular tourist attraction and a significant landmark in the city of Marseille.
