This week, our olive cube @lacorvette_marseille was in the cool of the Palais Longchamp.
Located in the 4th arrondissement, it is one of the most important monuments in Marseille.
Built to be the arrival point of the waters of the Durance in the city, the Longchamp Palace was built in 1862 and inaugurated in 1869. Today it is a place for relaxation and walks. It houses two museums: the Fine Arts Museum and the Natural History Museum in its right wing. As well as the Marseille Observatory.
DID YOU KNOW?
It was originally created to supply the commune of Marseille, which was experiencing water supply problems.
