St-Laurent is a Romanesque church in the French city of Marseille. It is located in the Panier district north of the Vieux Port. The church was built in 1150 from the pink stone from La Couronne in the simple Romanesque style of Provence and was dedicated to St. Lawrence of Rome. Originally there was a Greek temple and later a fortification built by Bishop Babon in 870. In the 17th century the church was redesigned, equipped with the Ste-Catherine side chapel and the octagonal tower was built. During the Second World War it was badly damaged by the German occupiers when the old quarter was blown up in 1943 and has only recently been restored. Two statues made of painted and partly gilded wood from the late 18th century show the Mother of God and Saint Laurent. The church contains numbered floor slabs that were originally tombstones.
