Apt Cathedral, Romanesque cathedral in Apt, France
Apt Cathedral is a Romanesque church building located in the town of Apt in southern France. It features thick stone walls, rounded arches, and a narrow interior space with an apse at one end.
This church served as the seat of the Bishop of Apt until the French Revolution. The diocese was merged with Avignon and Digne in 1801, ending its role as a cathedral seat.
This place has served the local community as a spiritual center for many centuries. The interior reflects the devotion of generations who gathered here to pray and celebrate their faith.
The building stands in the town center on Cathedral Square and is easy to reach on foot. Its central location makes it convenient for visitors to include in their exploration of the town.
In the lower crypt lies a corridor leading to a chamber where, according to local tradition, the veil of Saint Anne was discovered. This relic gave the place special spiritual importance for pilgrims over the centuries.
