| dc.description | General frontal view of the south front; Marseille Cathedral is a Roman Catholic cathedral, and a national monument of France. It has been a basilica minor since 1896. It is the seat of the Archdiocese of Marseille. The present cathedral, the "Nouvelle Major", was built on an enormous scale in Byzantine-Roman style (combining Roman, Byzantine, medieval and Renaissance forms) from 1852 to 1896 on the site used for the cathedrals of Marseille since the 5th century, principally by the architects Léon Vaudoyer (1803-1872) and Henri Jacques Espérandieu (1829-1874). Some modest structures remaining from the earlier cathedral, the "Vieille Major", still stand alongside, dwarfed by the huge scale of the later construction.
