Condom, a former episcopal city crossed by the Baïse River, is renowned for its Saint-Pierre Cathedral and its Armagnac-related past. In front of the cathedral stands the famous statue of the Four Musketeers (D'Artagnan and his companions), a tribute to Alexandre Dumas' novel and the famous captain's Gascon roots.

The "Saint-Pierre" cathedral in Condom was dedicated to Saint Peter. Simon, nicknamed Peter (Rock), was a fisherman on Lake Genesareth when he was called - together with his brother Andrew - by Jesus Christ to be a "fisher of men". According to Catholic understanding, he is the highest apostle, and the two thousand year long line of popes - currently Francis - are his successors. In statues and paintings, Peter is almost always depicted with two keys in his hand; this attribute refers to the Bible verse in Matthew: "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." (Chapter 16, Verse 19). Peter is also known together with Paul as the "prince of the apostles"; their common feast day in the calendar of saints is June 29th.

This cathedral, former diocese of Condom between 1317 and 1790, has been classified as a historic monument since 1840. We can easily see the scars of the wars of religion on its facades as well as in the heart of its magnificent cloister with Gothic vaults. Since 2010, the statue of the Dumas musketeers has stood on the cathedral square. It was created by the Georgian sculptor Zurab Tseretel.

Here in the Gers (Gascony) d'Artagnan is still one of the most important and famous historical figures.
