Marseille, France's second-largest and oldest city, is situated in the Provence-Alpes-Cote-d'azur region on the Mediterranean coast. Marseille was established around 600 BC by Greek colonists and was historically the most important trade center in the region and functioned as the main trade port of the French Empire. The city with its museums and churches, the beautiful Vieux Port quarter and the imposing Palais de Longchamp held the title of European Capital of Culture in 2013. Marseille will be one of the host cities of the UEFA EURO 2016 soccer championship. EPA/GUILLAUME HORCAJUELO Leggi l'articolo completo su ANSA.it
