Shot from our first day in Marseille – 9th February, 2025.
Belfrey of the Basilica Notre-Dame de la Garde and the statue on top which does not show in the right picture.
The belfry of the Basilica is a square 41 m (135 ft) bell tower . It is topped by a 12.5 m (41 ft) belfry which supports a monumental 11.2 m (37 ft) statue of the Madonna and Child, made of copper gilded with gold leaf. Isn’t that amazing?
Thank you very much for your views, for your lovely comments and for the fav's on yesterday's picture.
