The Vieille Charité in Marseille, France, is a striking example of 17th-century Baroque architecture, originally built as an almshouse for the city's poor and homeless. Designed by the renowned architect Pierre Puget, the complex features a central chapel with an oval dome, surrounded by three stories of arcaded galleries. Today, the Vieille Charité serves as a cultural center, housing museums, exhibition spaces, and research institutes dedicated to the arts and humanities.
