Collégiale Saint-Salvy, Gothic church in Albi, France

The Collégiale Saint-Salvy features a mix of stone and brick construction, with a bell tower topped by a surveillance turret called gachol.

Construction began in the 11th century on the presumed tomb site of Saint Salvi, with Gothic additions made during the 13th century transformation.

The collegiate church displays six large canvas paintings from 1725 depicting Saint Salvi's life and local history, along with detailed polychrome wood sculptures.

The church opens Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to noon and 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM, with different weekend hours and guided tours available.

The 13th-century cloister contains a garden where monks cultivated medicinal and aromatic herbs, surrounded by sculpted capitals depicting people, animals, and plants.
