Hotel Dieu

Rue Méry, Marseilles, France

 

Located near the Accoules bell tower, the Hotel-Dieu was built in the 12th Century. It was formerly known as the Hopital Saint-Esprit as it once served as a hospice in the old part of the city. The building - which has been enlarged several times - reached its definitive form in 1866, as a result of works undertaken by the nephew of the great architect H. Mansart. Its beautiful staircase was designed by architect Esprit Brun. This maginificent hospital building demonstrates the importance which has been accorded to medicine in Marseille since the time of Antiquity.
