Notre-Dame du Bourg, Romanesque cathedral in Digne-les-Bains, France.
The cathedral features a single nave with four large bays and walls constructed from local schist stone, following Provençal Romanesque architecture principles.
Built between the late 12th and early 13th centuries upon a 6th-century basilica, the cathedral received historic monument status in 1840.
The interior contains a contemporary liturgical ensemble created by artist David Rabinowitch, merging modern art with medieval architecture.
The cathedral offers guided tours upon reservation and includes an archaeological crypt displaying excavated artifacts from the Roman period.
The building stands on a pagan necropolis, with successive Christian structures documented through archaeological research conducted between 1983 and 1993.
