History

::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/55/Marignane_(1).JPG" caption="[[Château de Marignane"] ::

In the 15th century the Count of Provence owned the land, and from 1603 to the French Revolution it belonged to the Covet family. In the 17th century the Covet family refurbished the Château de Marignane, which now serves as the town hall.

Three chapels and one convent were built in the 17th and 18th century: Notre-Dame de Pitié (1635), Saint-Nicolas (1695), Sainte-Anne (1710, now demolished), and Couvent des Minimes (1695).
