An unassuming memorial to a Resistance fighter

Mende는 Lozère 주의 가장 중요한 도시입니다. 기원전 200년으로 거슬러 올라가는 정말 오래된 도시입니다. 수많은 중세 건물들이 그 명성을 말해줍니다. 다른 것들 중에서도 특히 높이가 다른 종탑을 가진 이상한 특징이 있는 웅장한 대성당을 발견할 수 있습니다. 이 도시는 부분적으로 직물 생산 덕분에 부유해졌으며, Languedoc와 Auvergne 지역 간의 중요한 상업 교차로가 되었습니다. 저는 특히 물 위에서 스스로 굴러가는 거대한 돌 구슬이 있는 분수를 좋아합니다.

Beautiful old town with a very good shopping street to stroll around and a beautiful large church

The Cathedral of the Diocese of Mende (Cathedrale Notre-Dame-et-Saint-Privat) was built next to Mary St. Privatus consecrated by Mende, over whose grave it is said to have been built. The Gothic church received the rank of a minor basilica in 1874 and has been a listed monument since 1906. In the 1360s, Pope Urban V decided to build the Gothic cathedral and furnished it with a rich inventory. After his death in 1370 as a result of the Hundred Years' War, the building was inactive for a long time. The structure was completed in 1466. As early as 1487, the nave was lengthened by two bays, and the steeples were completed in 1508 and 1512. Mende was conquered by the Protestants in the turmoil of the Huguenot Wars in 1579 and the cathedral was badly damaged by the destruction of central pillars in 1581 as part of a protection racket, only the towers remained intact. Between 1599 and 1605 the reconstruction took place according to the original plans, the new church consecration took place in 1620. The stained glass windows created at that time were destroyed in 1793. In the 19th century a neo-Gothic portal was added to the cathedral.

The place has a medieval, historical city center. Worth seeing are u. a. the Gothic cathedral Notre-Dame-et-Saint-Privat (construction started in 1368) and a medieval bridge, the Pont Notre-Dame from the 13th century. The town is the starting point for excursions to the Tarn river gorges.
