Montpellier Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Montpellier, France.
The cathedral exhibits circular piers measuring 4.55 meters in diameter and features a substantial porch with an extended canopy at its entrance point.
Established in 1364 as a Benedictine monastery church, the structure became a cathedral in 1536 when the Archdiocese of Maguelone transferred to Montpellier.
The cathedral presents French artist Sébastien Bourdon's painting 'The Fall of Simon the Magician', depicting an episode from Saint Peter's narrative.
Located at 1 rue Saint-Pierre, the cathedral provides free access to visitors and contains 200 steps leading to the Urbain V tower observation point.
This religious building stands as the sole medieval church in central Montpellier that remained intact through the Wars of Religion.
