The Great Synagogue of Marseille (Шаблон:Lang-fr) is a synagogue on Rue Breteuil in the 6th arrondissement of Marseille. It is classed as a monument historique since 2007.[1]

When the previous synagogue on the Rue Grignan was in disrepair and too small, a campaign began in 1855 to raise money for a new site. The design by the architect Nathan Salomon was approved in 1860 and the building finished in 1864.[2]

The synagogue takes the basilica form more commonly associated with ancient Greece and Rome, and churches. It is built in the Romano-Byzantine style, and takes influence from the Synagogue de Nazareth, completed in Paris in 1852. A pulpit and an organ – both also associated more with Christian buildings than Jewish ones – feature inside, and the mix of Western and Oriental designs was chosen to reflect the diversity of the worshippers.[3]

Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve visited the synagogue in January 2016, in solidarity with a local teacher who was attacked by a teenage Islamic State sympathiser.[4] In September 2018, former President of France Nicolas Sarkozy spoke at the synagogue to denounce antisemitism.[5]
