The cathedral of the diocese of Valence has the rank of a minor basilica and is dedicated to Apollinaris of Ravenna.
It dates from the 11th century and was rebuilt after the Huguenot Wars at the beginning of the 17th century. It has been listed as a monument historique since 1862.

Over the centuries, the cathedral has undergone many changes. It was consecrated by Pope Urban II on August 5, 1095, destroyed during the Wars of Religion, and rebuilt identically in the 17th century. In the 18th century, Bishop Alexandre Milon de Mesme extensively renovated his palace and church. In particular, he financed the great organ and its case, a new marble altar, and paintings. The monument to Pope Pius VI, who died in Valencia in 1799 as a prisoner of the Directory, was placed in the choir. In the 19th century, the bell tower was struck by lightning. It was rebuilt, partly in Crussol stone, whose white color contrasted with the rest of the building, which was mainly made of molasse.
The cathedral was listed as a historic monument in 1869.
