Rodez Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Rodez, France.
The cathedral's west facade features two massive towers integrated into the city walls and a bell tower reaching 87 meters high.
Construction began in 1277 under architect Jean Deschamps after the collapse of the previous bell tower, with completion occurring in 1542.
The cathedral contains a Renaissance rood screen separating the nave from the choir, with stained glass windows depicting biblical narratives from various periods.
The cathedral opens daily from 8:00 AM to 6:30 PM on weekdays, with extended hours until 7:30 PM on Sundays.
Scientists Méchain and Delambre used the cathedral as a surveying point to calculate Earth's circumference, contributing to the meter's definition in 1792.
