Montpellier Cathedral

Montpellier Cathedral (Cathédrale Saint-Pierre de Montpellier) is a Roman Catholic cathedral, and a national monument of France, located in the town of Montpellier.

It is the seat of the Archbishops, previously Bishops, of Montpellier.

Originally a church attached to the monastery of Saint-Benoît (founded in 1364), the building was elevated to the status of cathedral in 1536, when the see of Maguelonne was transferred to Montpellier. It suffered extensive damage during the Wars of Religion between Catholics and Protestants in the 16th century, and was subsequently rebuilt in the 17th.

Wriggle back through the old town. You’ll note St Peter’s Cathedral and nearby, Europe’s oldest medical school.

Sparse from the outside but impressive within. Attached to the famous medical school Nostradamus attended.

Кафедральный собор святого Петра. Здание собора изначально было хорошо укреплено, в конце 16 века его называли «форт святого Петра».
