To the north of the boulevard, near the new ferry terminal, lies the area of La Zholett, next to which there are the City Hall building (XVII century), Museum of Roman amphorae from trade warehouses for wine, grain and oil, as well as the History Museum of Marseilles with a well preserved skeleton of a merchant ship III century.

  Special attention in Marseille should be paid to the Archaeological Museum, Fashion Museum, Museum of Santon, Museum of Fine Arts and the Museum of Natural History. Very interesting forts are spotted at the entrance to the Old Port - Fort Saint-Nicolas and Saint Giovanni, built by the Knights loonies in the XIII century and rebuilt in the XV-XVII centuries.
