Cathedral of Saints Just and Pastor

Cathédrale Saint-Just-et-Saint-Pasteur de Narbonne, Saint Just and Saint Pasteur Cathedral
France, Narbonne
The Cathedral of Saints Just and Pastor is the most famous landmark in the city of Narbonne.
This is a former cathedral, consecrated in honor of the holy brothers Justus and Pastor. National monument of France.
The construction of the cathedral began in 1272. Until 1801, the church was the chair of the archbishop of the diocese of Narbonne, which after 1801 was abolished and merged with the diocese of Carcassonne. Therefore, it now has the rank of co-cathedral of the diocese of Carcassonne and Narbonne.
The cathedral was built in the Gothic style. Despite the long history, it is unfinished - there is only a choir. In terms of height under the arch, this cathedral is the fourth highest in France (41 m under the arch, after Beauvais - 48 m, Amiens and Metz - 42 m). ). This building was one of the most ambitious projects of medieval France and one of the most significant architectural works of the early fourteenth century.

For us, this cathedral was a surprise and discovery. It can be seen from anywhere in the city. It is one of the highest temples in France - the height of its vaults is about 40 meters. Inside, relics and cult objects from different eras are perfectly preserved, which harmoniously coexist. Frescoes from the 13th century, huge Flemish tapestries from the Middle Ages, a beautiful wooden organ from the 18th century, an interesting sundial and much more are open for free viewing. The architecture of the cathedral differs from the traditional look of a Gothic cathedral, as its construction was never completed.
