On the territory of the Carcassonne fortress there is a beautiful old basilica. The oldest parts of the temple that we can see today date back to the 12th century. All that has survived from this era is the first two eastern columns of the nave and the dilapidated crypt. Whatever it was, but the Cathedral of Carcassonne was consecrated in 1150. Although there were still 180 years before the end of construction. Due to such a long construction, the temple is a combination of Romanesque and Gothic styles.→
