This 12th- and 13th-century fortified church and monastery were built over a Greek quarry and Hellenic crypts that date to the second century BC and earlier.
It is said to be the site of the first monastic order in Provence and the place from which Christianity spread throughout the region and contains third- and fourth-century sarcophagi and carvings of great archaeological interest.
Despite a period as a fodder store, prison and barracks during the French Revolution which probably saved it from destruction, the church is now a consecrated place of worship. Sacred music concerts are regularly held there. Rue d’Endoume, behind the Bassin de Carenage on the east side of the Vieux Port.
