Once a Romanesque cathedral stood here, that was destroyed in the Crusades. In its place was built this Gothic Roman Catholic cathedral. Large and imposing yet graceful, the Cathedral has a fantastic view of over three great bodies – Beziers, the Pyrenees Mountains, and the Mediterranean sea.

The highlights are:

• The 48 metres high bell tower that you can climb
• The many gargoyles
• The sacristy
• The huge 14th century façade rose window
• Remains of the earlier Romanesque cathedral
• Gallo-Roman friezes on the support columns
• Six large religious paintings
• 14th and 15th century frescoes
• The 14th century cloister
• The 17th century great organ.

Definitely go up to the top of the bell tower for some fantastic views of the land around.

• The climb up the bell tower can be a bit of squeeze in 2 way traffic.

• Walk, drive or take a taxi to here.
