Carpentras Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Carpentras, France.
The cathedral presents high pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and large windows characteristic of medieval French religious architecture, rising 58 meters above the town center.
Construction of the cathedral started in 1409 when Pope Benedict XIII ordered its creation, replacing an earlier Roman structure that had fallen into ruins.
The cathedral contains a wrought iron gate separating the nave from the choir, displaying the coat of arms of Joseph-Dominique d'Inguimbert, its patron.
The cathedral stands near the Palace of Justice and remains open to visitors who can observe five lateral chapels, including the baptistery and Saint Anne's chapel.
Seven different architects contributed to the construction of this cathedral over a period of 150 years, resulting in varied architectural interpretations.
