Sant Pèire e Sant Pau de Magalona Cathedral
Sant Pèire e Sant Pau de Magalona Cathedral, Romanesque cathedral on a volcanic island in Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone, France.
The cathedral features thick defensive walls up to two meters wide with narrow openings and a simple stone altar topped with black marble.
The original cathedral from the 1st century was destroyed by the Franks, leading to the construction of a new structure in the 11th century.
The cathedral holds an Ancient Music Festival each June, presenting medieval and baroque performances within its stone walls.
Visitors can reach the cathedral by car from Palavas-les-Flots or walk from Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone through a narrow strip of land.
The cathedral stands on an isolated volcanic island surrounded by water, with gardens containing hundreds of acanthus plants that naturally control weed growth.
