Phare de Sainte-Marie
This historic lighthouse marks the port’s outer edge, but the Digue du Large is a restricted working area. Plan to see it only as part of an organized visit.
Why go
The lighthouse helps explain the scale of Marseille’s harbour beyond the familiar Vieux-Port. An organized walk on the Digue du Large puts it beside the port cranes known as Les Élégantes, rather than treating it as an isolated photo stop.
What to look for
The limestone lighthouse stands near the southern end of the Digue du Large.
Les Élégantes cranes frame the industrial harbour nearby.
Useful to know
Check for an organized Digue du Large visit before making this a destination.
Treat the lighthouse as an exterior sight; entry to the tower is not established.
