Périgueux Cathedral, Cathedral with five domes in Périgueux, France.
The cathedral features a Greek cross layout with massive pillars supporting five symmetrical domes topped by distinctive turrets at its center.
The original structure from 976 suffered fire damage in 1120, leading to reconstructions that preserved the bell tower and crypts from the 12th century.
The cathedral stands as part of the Routes of Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage network, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in France.
Visitors can explore both the main cathedral space and the 12th-century cloister located to the right of the entrance.
The architectural design mirrors St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, making it an unusual example of Byzantine influence in French religious architecture.
