Vieille Charite Description

Vieille Charité in Marseilles is a hospice for the poor, built between 1671 and 1749 to plans by Jean and Pierre Puget (the latter is little known as an architect). This masterpiece of French hospital architecture of the end of the 17th C, with its chapel designed by Pierre Puget, is now a scientific and cultural center.
