關於
La Vieille Charité (French pronunciation: [la vjɛj ʃaʁite]; Occitan: La Vieja Caritat) is a former almshouse, now functioning as a museum and cultural centre, situated in the heart of the old Panier quarter of Marseille in the south of France. Constructed between 1671, and 1749, in the Baroque style to the designs of the architect Pierre Puget, it comprises four ranges of arcaded galleries in three storeys surrounding a space with a central chapel surmounted by an ovoid dome.
The chapel and the hospice were classified as a historic monument by order of January 29, 1951.
