Designed by Marseillais architect Pierre Puget,
the arcaded courtyard of the Centre de la Vieille Charité
wraps around Provence's most imposing baroque church.

Used variously as a barracks, a soldiers' rest home and,
later, low-cost housing for people who lost their homes during WWII,
the centre now houses the Musée d'Archéologie Mediterranéenne and the Musée des Arts Africains, Océaniens & Amérindiens, and temporary exhibitions.
