The Basilica of Our Lady of the Guardian (Basilique Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde) is located on the hill of the Guardian with a height of 149 meters. Initially, a watchtower towered here, then a small church was built. In the 19th century, under the leadership of the young architect Henri-Jacques Esperandieu, a major restoration of the Basilica was carried out. Address: Rue Fort-du-Sanctuaire. Free admission. Pay attention to an interesting feature of the temple - tablets with thanks that the sailors brought as a gift to the Virgin Mary.
