Saint-Flour, Medieval hilltop town in Cantal, France.
Saint-Flour stands at 783 meters above sea level, with stone buildings constructed on a volcanic plateau in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
The town gained prominence in 1317 when Pope John XXII established it as an episcopal seat, transforming the former Benedictine priory into a cathedral.
The Cathedral of Saint Pierre features black volcanic stone architecture and contains numerous religious artifacts from the medieval period.
The administrative center serves as a subprefecture of Cantal department, managing services for 98 communes within its arrondissement.
Saint-Flour maintains two distinct sections: the upper city on the volcanic plateau and the lower city along the Ander River banks.
