EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enchanting walkway leading to the Notre-Dame de la Garde lifts in Marseille, France. Dating back to the 1910s, this image transports us back in time to an era of elegant grandeur. The ornate Neo-Byzantine architecture of the Ascenseurs (lifts) is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of this historic port city. Perched atop the highest natural point in Marseille, the Notre-Dame de la Garde Basilica stands proudly on a 162-meter limestone outcrop, overlooking the Old Port. The basilica, a cherished symbol of Marseille, is a must-visit destination for tourists and locals alike. The walkway, adorned with intricate stonework and wrought iron railings, leads pilgrims and visitors up the hillside, offering breathtaking views of the city and the Mediterranean Sea. The ornate details of the lift structure are a stunning example of the architectural fusion that characterizes Marseille's unique urban landscape. The Neo-Byzantine style, which draws inspiration from the art and architecture of the Byzantine Empire, is a fitting choice for a city with deep historical and cultural ties to the Eastern Mediterranean. As you follow the winding path up the hill, the sound of the sea fades away, replaced by the gentle hum of the city and the distant tolling of the basilica's bells. The journey up the walkway is a pilgrimage in and of itself, a chance to reflect on the history and beauty of this remarkable city.
