Forcalquier Cathedral, Romanesque cathedral in Forcalquier, France.

The Notre-Dame-du-Bourguet Cathedral features a Latin cross plan with side naves added in the 17th century and a bell tower with campanile.

Initially built as a collegiate church in the 12th century, this structure became the second seat of the Bishop of Sisteron in 1408.

The cathedral contains a remarkable organ dating from 1629, which continues to produce music during religious services and concerts.

Visitors can find the cathedral at Place du Bourguet 10, in the center of Forcalquier, near the local Tourist Office.

The transept and choir of this cathedral represent one of the earliest applications of Gothic architectural style in southern France.

Very beautiful from the outside, a bit less so on the inside!
