Saint John the Baptist Cathedral in Alès, Roman Catholic former cathedral in Alès, France.
The cathedral features a square bell tower with remnants from the 12th and 15th centuries, topped by an iron campanile from 1776.
The building underwent multiple transformations, from a Carolingian church to a Roman Catholic cathedral in 1694 under Louis XIV's directive.
The cathedral interior includes a Louis XVI colonnade around the choir and Gothic cross-ribbed vaults reaching 20 meters in height.
Located at 14 Place Saint-Jean in Alès, the cathedral completed its latest restoration phase with a reopening in March 2020.
The organ, built by Charles Boisselin in 1727, received historical monument status for its instrumental components in 1962.
