Perpignan Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Perpignan, France
The Saint-Jean-Baptiste Cathedral stands with a large single nave measuring 80 meters in length and reaches a height of 30.3 meters.
Construction began in 1324 under King Sancho of Majorca to replace an insufficient Romanesque church, with completion occurring in 1509 and consecration in 1602.
The cathedral exhibits Southern Gothic architecture with its wide nave supported by seven cross-vaults, representing the architectural preferences of the Kingdom of Majorca.
Visitors can access the cathedral daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM on weekdays and 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM on Sundays, with guided tours in multiple languages.
The Campo Santo cemetery on the south side remains the largest medieval cemetery in France, featuring preserved burial stones and restored niche tombs.
