EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Church of our Lady Keeper, a magnificent architectural masterpiece that stands proudly on the highest natural point in Marseille. Built in 1930 by architect Henri-Jacques Esperandieu, this neo-Byzantine basilica was constructed on the foundations of an ancient fort, adding to its historical significance. The image captures the church's grandeur against the backdrop of Marseille's Old Port and the stunning Mediterranean Sea. The limestone outcropping upon which it sits reaches an impressive height of 149 meters (489 feet), making it a prominent landmark along the French Riviera. Intriguingly, this photograph is featured in "La Cote d'Azur de Marseille a Menton" a literary work published in Paris back in 1930. Its inclusion highlights not only the architectural beauty but also its cultural importance within France. As we gaze at this monochrome scene, we are reminded of both past and present as people traverse a path near the church. Their presence adds depth to this snapshot from history, emphasizing how religion has always played an integral role in society. With its intricate facade and symbolic religious significance, Notre-Dame de la Garde continues to be cherished as one of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur's most treasured landmarks. This print serves as a timeless reminder of its majesty and enduring legacy for generations to come.
