This church, which forms the shape of a cross within a rectangle when viewed from above, is an achievement of the Vallon brothers constructed between 1706 and 1728. The shape represents an architectural innovation of this period in Aix-en-Provence. The sculpture and decorative work, created entirely during the last two years of construction, makes an interesting historical reference: the figures of the 12 apostles are reputed to be portraits of the 12 original members of the French parliament from 1501.
