Sarlat Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Sarlat-la-Canéda, France.

The Saint-Sacerdos Cathedral features a prominent 12th-century Romanesque bell tower topped with a distinctive bulbous belfry from the 18th century.

Initially established as a Benedictine abbey in the 8th century, the structure underwent transformation into a cathedral following the creation of Sarlat diocese in 1317.

The cathedral houses an organ gallery crafted by Jean-François l'Epine, representing significant French musical and architectural craftsmanship of its period.

Located at Place du Peyrou in Sarlat-la-Canéda, the cathedral remains open daily for visits outside of regular religious service schedules.

The bell tower incorporates remnants of a Carolingian structure, making it one of the oldest religious architectural elements in the Dordogne region.
