OLLā | La Vieille Charité

Les Grands Carmes

Built by Pierre Puget in the 1600s as a hospice for the destitute, this pink-stone Baroque complex now shelters two free museums and a domed chapel around a sun-dappled courtyard. Wander arcades, explore Mediterranean antiquities and African art, or simply soak up the calm in one of Marseille's most striking architectural settings.
