Clermont-Ferrand is distinguished by its dark volcanic stone architecture and its close proximity to the Chaîne des Puys. The religious heritage includes the Basilica of Notre-Dame du Port, an outstanding example of 12th-century Auvergnat Romanesque art, and the Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption Cathedral, a Gothic building constructed from volcanic stone. The Place de Jaude serves as the hub of city life, lined with historic buildings and shops. The city hosts several museum institutions that explore local and industrial history. The Roger-Quilliot Museum of Art is housed in a former Ursuline convent and displays works from the 14th to the 20th century, while L'Aventure Michelin traces the evolution of the tire industry since 1889. Lecoq Garden covers 12 acres of green space in the city center. A few kilometers away, the Regional Natural Park of the Volcans d'Auvergne spans nearly 1,500 square miles and offers access to the Puy de Dôme, a volcano rising to 4,785 feet (1465 meters), and Puy Pariou, which reaches 3,960 feet (1209 meters) in altitude.
