this arch is a double symbol. on the one hand a symbol of the power of France in the years 1839 and on the other its total collapse of the France of our times. a beautiful work of art destroyed by graffiti, surrounded by garbage and "Frenchmen" dealing drugs, following you in these worse streets and trying to rob you. All this under the symbol of the glory of the French nation... Unfortunately my curiosity led me to this monument. It is because of this arch and the situation under it that we will not forget Marseille for the rest of our lives. sad but true. I advise against venturing into those areas and what is worse the streets beyond. you have to have eyes in the back of your head. It is not safe

The project to build a triumphal arch in Marseille dates back to the Ancien Régime. In 1784, the city's aldermen decided to build a triumphal arch in honor of King Louis XVI and to celebrate the end of the American War of Independence. The location of the Porte d'Aix was chosen, which corresponded to the northern gate of the ramparts. But the work was delayed due to procrastination within the municipality. Many street people occupied the place. Very hard for the tourist to take a breath. Be careful if you visit in the night after sunset. Beautiful mosque al Taqwa 2 mins walking distance from here. Must visit and offer salah if you are muslim.
