Besançon Cathedral (French: Cathédrale Saint-Jean de Besançon) is a Roman Catholic church dedicated to Saint John, located in the French city of Besançon. Originally built in the 4th century, Besançon's Saint-Jean Cathedral has undergone many changes since that time. The current building, consecrated in the mid-12th century, is the work of Archbishop Hugues de Salins. The building is a mix of Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque and is one of the few in France to present two contrasting choirs.
