Cité épiscopale de Fréjus, Episcopal complex from 4th century in Fréjus, France.

The Episcopal City of Fréjus contains a baptistery, cathedral, cloister, and episcopal palace, forming an architectural ensemble spanning multiple centuries.

The Episcopal complex, established in 374 CE, represents the second oldest bishopric in France after Lyon, with structures built between the 5th and 14th centuries.

The cloister features wooden beams decorated with medieval artworks depicting worldviews from the 14th century, representing religious and social elements of the period.

The site operates daily from October through May between 9:00 and 17:00, and during summer months from June through September between 9:00 and 18:30.

The baptistery contains eight sections symbolizing seven days of the week plus eternal life, reflecting early Christian numerical symbolism through architectural design.
