Église Saint-Étienne-de-la-Cité, Romanesque church in Périgueux, France.

The building features two significant domes, with the western dome dating from the 11th century and the eastern dome restored in the 17th century.

The structure served as the first cathedral of Périgueux until 1577, when Protestant forces damaged its domes and bell tower during religious conflicts.

The interior contains a perpetual calendar marking Easter celebrations from 1163 to 1253, along with the tomb of Bishop Jean d'Asside.

Visitors can access the church from 9 AM to 6 PM except Sundays, with guided tours available through the Périgueux Tourist Office.

The church houses an 18th-century Carrouges organ, restored in 1993, that maintains its original baroque characteristics and mechanical elements.
