Nîmes Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Nîmes, France.
Nîmes Cathedral is a religious building with a spacious central nave flanked by aisles and numerous chapels distributed around its interior. The structure shows Romanesque features from early construction phases alongside later Gothic details.
Work on the building started in the 11th century on a site that had previously held a Roman temple. Over the following centuries, the structure was gradually expanded and modified several times.
The building has served multiple faiths throughout its existence and remains today the spiritual center of the diocese. On major celebrations, worshippers gather here to attend religious services together.
The building sits in the city center on Rue Saint-Castor and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors can explore the interior and take advantage of guided tours to learn more about the architectural details.
The facade displays a compelling mix of different building styles that reflects the extended construction timeline. This blend makes the structure a visual record of architectural evolution across different eras.
