Notre-Dame de la Garde, is a Catholic basilica in
Marseille, France. This Neo-Byzantine church was
built by the architect Henri-Jacques Espérandieu on
the foundations of an ancient fort located at the
highest natural point in Marseille, a 149 m (490 ft)
limestone outcrop on the south side of the Old Port.

The basilica was consecrated on June 5, 1864 and
replaced a church of the same name built in 1214
and restored in the 15th century. It was built on the
foundations of a 16th-century fort built by Francis I
of France to resist the 1536 siege of Marseilles by
the Emperor Charles V.

The basilica consists of a lower church, or crypt, in
the Romanesque style carved from the rock, as well
as an upper church of Neo-Byzantine style decorated
with mosaics. A square bell tower of 41 m topped by
a belfry of 12.5 m supports a monumental 11.2 m
statue of the Madonna and Child, made of copper
gilded with gold leaf.
