Carpentras Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Carpentras, France.

Carpentras Cathedral is a Gothic church built from 1405 for Benedict XIII, with a nave made squat by Thomas Colin's square bay plan. Its south side carries the 1498–1508 Porte Notre-Dame, called the Porte des Juifs, with nine statue niches and a gable crowned by the "boule aux rats". A 58-metre neo-Gothic bell tower, built 1899–1902, stands beside it.

Construction began in 1409 when Pope Benedict XIII commissioned the building to replace an earlier Roman structure in decline. The project extended over more than 150 years as successive architects added their own interpretations to the evolving design.

The choir is separated from the nave by a wrought-iron grille donated by Joseph-Dominique d'Inguimbert, bearing his coat of arms. In the left tribune hangs a triptych of the Coronation of the Virgin flanked by Saint Siffrein and Saint Michael, attributed to Enguerrand Quarton. The tomb of Bishop Ayrard, who founded the chapter in 982, stands in the choir.

The main portal opens onto the Place du Palais de Justice, the former episcopal palace, so approach from that square. The south side has a lateral door, the Porte des Juifs, dating from 1840. The 58-metre neo-Gothic bell tower, built 1899–1902, replaced the Romanesque one demolished in 1875.

Seven different architects oversaw construction across roughly 150 years, creating an intriguing blend of design approaches within a single structure. This succession of builders left distinct marks visible in details like vault patterns and window designs for those who look closely.
