Martigues is a town in the southeastern part of France, to the northwest of Marseille. It's part of the Bouches-du-Rhône département and lies in the Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur région on the eastern end of the Canal de Caronte.
It was founded by Ramon Berenguer IV, count of Provence in 1232 on the likely site of the Roman camp Maritima Avaticorum.
