A humble church yet a heart of a community. That’s Sainte-Anne in Marseille. Before you stands Sainte-Anne a testament to Marseille’s rich history. Built in 1859 it initially served as a small chapel. This modest structure grew over time expanding to become the church we see today. The church’s foundation rests on a site that once held vast agricultural lands. Before the area became a residential neighborhood it was primarily farmland. Large estates like Chateau Sainte-Anne dotted the landscape. These estates thrived on the area’s underground water supply. Clever use of wells and pumps allowed irrigation and cultivation. A stone base remains a relic of a windmill that once powered these water pumps. Even today the nearby Parc Sevigne uses this aquifer for its watering system. The construction of the church itself marked a turning point. It provided a focal point for a growing community. It attracted Italian immigrants who provided much of the labor. This influx of people led to the creation of businesses and the development of Sainte-Anne. This small church helped build a big village.
