Auxerre, Medieval urban complex in Burgundy, France
The Cathedral of Saint-Étienne displays three sculptured doorways, a rose window, and a tower rising from the northwest corner of the structure.
The settlement developed from a Roman provincial capital named Autissiodorum into a significant ecclesiastical center with a bishop's seat in the third century.
The ninth-century crypts beneath Saint-Germain church contain the tombs of Auxerre bishops and feature some of France's earliest religious wall paintings.
The city functions as a commercial hub for the Yonne valley and Chablis wine regions, with industries producing machinery, electronics, and food products.
The archaeological excavations in 2024 revealed a Roman cemetery containing 250 infant burials, providing insights into ancient burial practices.
