The former Saint-Trophime Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church in Arles in southern France. It was initially an abbey church of the Benedictine order, later the bishop's church of Arles. Today it is the most important building in the city of Arles and an important example of Romanesque architecture. The Romanesque part of the church was built between 1100 and 1150. Between 1454 and 1464 the Gothic choir was added and some other changes were made. On the south side was the Saint-Trophime monastery until 1792, arranged around the cloister of the church.Saint-Trophime was the first bishop of Arles in 250. Augustine of Canterbury returned to Arles in 597 after his missionary journeys to England. Because of this, the Anglican Church still has a connection with this cathedral.de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St-Trophime_(Arles)
