Marseilles was founded in 600 BC - The Greek Period -.The town was built to the north of the harbour  , called the Vieux Port and form an 
extremely important trading crossroad between 
the Rhone valley to the north and Spain to the
west. In the Middle Ages there was no constructed quay as such, but the entrance was protected by
two towers, the present day forts of St. Jean and
St. Nicolas . 
Today´s Marseilles is a town with a lot of different cultures.
