More information on Abbaye Saint-Victor
Situated on the southern bank of the Vieux-Port above the dry dock, this abbey played an important role in development of Christianity in the Mediterranean between the 11th and 18th centuries. In the 14th century, Pope Urbain V oversaw its fortification. The abbey's crypt and catacombs, which contain a number of ancient sarcophagi, are open to visitors, whilst its excellent acoustics make it the perfect venue for the religious and classical music concerts held here on a regular basis. Large crowds attend its special ceremonies for la fête de la Chandeleur (Candlemas) in February.
