Title in french : Monument aux morts d'Orient

Type : monument

City : Marseille

This monument situated on the corniche is dedicated to the dead of the Eastern Army and distant lands, in relation with the First World War. It was built according to the plans of the architect Gaston Castel, it was inaugurated in 1927 and classified historic monument in 2011.

The desire to erect a monument in memory of the victims appeared between the two world wars. The main idea is that strong base symbolizing determination.

The site also provides a magnificent view on the bay of Marseille, its islands, and the entrance of the Auffes vales.

That's a small sea sprayed area, very nice to enjoy fresh air and a few minutes of fullness.
