The Palais Longchamp from the Château d'Eau (Water Castle) and the Musée des Beaux-Arts (Museum of Fine Arts).

The Palais Longchamp was designed to channel water from the Durance River to Marseille and improve the city's water supply.

The Château d'Eau consists of an imposing neoclassical façade with majestic columns and sculptures representing allegorical representations of water, agriculture and trade. It is a symbol of the importance of water supply and prosperity for the city of Marseille.
