Apt Cathedral, Romanesque cathedral in Apt, France

The Apt Cathedral features thick stone walls, rounded arches, and a small nave measuring eight meters in length with an apse configuration.

The cathedral served as the seat of the Bishop of Apt until the French Revolution in 1801, when its diocese merged with Avignon and Digne.

Pope Pius IX authorized a ceremonial coronation of the white marble Marian statue created by sculptor Giovanni Maria Benzoni in September 1877.

The cathedral stands at Place de la Cathédrale 6 in Apt, with Pont Julien bridge located 7.4 kilometers from the building entrance.

The lower crypt contains a corridor leading to a vault where, according to local accounts, the veil of Saint Anne was discovered.
