La Criée, Théâtre National de Marseille

The former fish marketplace, built in 1909, was moved to the port de Saumaty in 1976, allowing the national theatre to be built in its place in 1981. It retained the name of the marketplace, La Criée (the Auction House).

During the year, La Criée offers a selection of ballets, concerts, plays, music festivals, contemporary dance, children's theatre and more. More than 700 shows have been presented since it was opened. The theatre has one of the most beautiful theatres in Marseille and you can always walk in to admire the lobby.
