Introduction
The Cathedral of Saint Cecilia in Albi, built between 1282 and 1480, is an epitome of Southern Gothic architecture. With its 78-meter high bell tower, it overlooks the entire city. The cathedral's exterior, made of red bricks, is smooth and imposing, making it hard to imagine the rich decorations inside.
You will notice the proportions of the semi-circular apse and the 16th-century canopy at the entrance, which create a sharp contrast with the overall structure.
Inside the cathedral, please visit the colorful sculptures and the painting "The Last Judgment" in the ambulatory. Address 5 Boulevard Sibille, 81000 Albi
Opening hours June to the end of September: 09:00-12:00/14:00-18:30
