Gap Cathedral, Gothic Revival cathedral in Gap, France

The Cathedral of Our Lady and Saint Arnoux stands 70 meters tall, featuring a polychrome facade constructed with stones of different colors.

The cathedral houses numerous religious artworks, including a statue of a saint bishop, an Annunciation painting, and various reliquaries of artistic value.

Located at 8 Place Georges de Manteyer, the cathedral maintains regular visiting hours and serves as the seat of the Gap and Embrun diocese.

The interior features mosaics created by Giandomenico Facchina and stained glass windows designed by artist Émile Hirsch.
