Episcopal City of Albi, Medieval episcopal complex in Occitanie, France.
The Episcopal City of Albi features red brick architecture throughout its structures, including the Saint-Cecilia Cathedral and the former Bishop's Palace along the Tarn River.
Construction of the Saint-Cecilia Cathedral began in 1282 after the Albigensian Crusade, establishing Albi as a stronghold of Christian authority in southern France.
The Berbie Palace houses the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum, displaying an extensive collection of works by the French painter who originated from this medieval city.
The Episcopal City offers guided tours in multiple languages, providing access to the cathedral's interior, decorated choir section, and painted vaults throughout the year.
The fortified cathedral presents an unusual combination of southern French Gothic architecture with defensive military features, built entirely in local red brick.
