Bayonne Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Bayonne, France
The cathedral features high vaulted ceilings, two 85-meter towers on its facade, and a rectangular cloister built in the 13th century.
Construction began in 1251 following a fire that destroyed the original Romanesque church, with building work continuing through several centuries until completion.
The cathedral holds the reliquary of Saint Leon of Carentan, a 9th-century Bishop of Bayonne, and contains seven chapels around its apse.
The cathedral maintains regular opening hours and provides guided tours that explain its architectural elements and historical significance along the Way of Saint James.
The cathedral ceiling contains decorated vault keys displaying medieval symbols, including castles and fleur-de-lis emblems representing regional history.
