Cahors Cathedral
Construction began in the 12th century, a period of which little remains. The cathedral was completed in 1700. The Second World War inflicted damage to the building, which lost its stained glass windows during a bombing raid. New stained glass windows were inaugurated in 2000 by the Dutch artist Jan Dibbets and the glassmaker Jean Muret.
About this building
Building of elongated plan, with a façade pierced by the entrance portal, preceded by a porch. A massive bell tower flanks this same facade, which constitutes a compromise between late Gothic (gargoyles, etc.) and early Classicism (pediment, medallion).
