This Gothic cathedral is a must-see on any tour of historic Montpellier. The imposing gateway on the west façade, with its enormous round columns, gives the church the appearance of a fortress. On the other sides, it blends so closely into the city that it's difficult to grasp its full dimensions.

The origins of the cathedral date back to a 14th century monastery chapel - although today's cathedral and the former chapel have only a common location due to constant renovation and expansion measures.
