Saint CECILE, to whom the cathedral in Albi was dedicated, is primarily responsible for good sound in the large circle of saints - if one can put it so casually at this point - because she is the patron saint of church music. Many religious choirs are named after her. The dates of her life from the corresponding saint's legend are not historically confirmed, but she is said to be a martyr from the beginning of the third century. The patron saint's feast day, i.e. her memorial day in the calendar of saints, is on November 22nd in all major Christian denominations.

Coming to Albi without making a detour to the Sainte-Cécile cathedral is not possible. This religious building in red brick will amaze you as it is so imposing. For my part, it reminds me of an immense stone vessel. Faced with such majesty, you will understand why it has been classified with the episcopal city of Albi since July 31, 2010 on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The first cathedral dates back to the 4th century, but it was during the 13th century that it was profoundly modified by major works. Under the aegis of Sainte-Cécile, patron saint of musicians, take the time to visit this marvel. It is the most visited cathedral in France ahead of Notre-Dame de Paris.

From the church you have a great view of the river valley. The way up is easy with an e-bike 😉 otherwise it's pretty steep

Great view of the Tarn river. The lack of leaves in winter give you a view all the way to Albi, in summer the leaves and heat haze sometimes block the Albi cathedral.

Magnificent estate in the region with its 1900 castle built on much older foundations (it was built between 1607 and 1684 by the Teissier family from Albi).

Interesting dam with some good views. Can also picnic and fish nearby.

The Roman Catholic Saint Cecilia Cathedral in Albi (French Cathédrale Sainte-Cécile d'Albi) is the cathedral of the French Archdiocese of Albi. The patroness of the cathedral is Saint Cecilia. Contrary to what www.tourisme-tarn.com says, it is not the largest brick church in the world. The largest is the Basilica of San Petronio in Bologna and the St. Mary's Church in Gdańsk and the Church of Our Lady in Munich are also larger - about the same size. In 1282, construction of a cathedral began on behalf of Bishop Bernard de Castanet. It was mostly completed in 1383. However, construction work was not completed until 1492. Still under the influence of the Albigensian Wars, the cathedral was built like a fortress and looks like a fortified church. The walls are up to six meters thick. The cathedral was built in the Gothic style, but not in natural stone like most Gothic cathedrals, but as a brick building. It is probably the most prominent example of Gothique Toulousien, the southern French brick Gothic. Despite its size, the interior consists of just a single nave and a ring of chapels. Their partitions form an internal buttress. The two brick churches in Munich and Gdansk that have already been mentioned as a size comparison, although they have three naves and are much younger, also have this method of absorbing the side thrust of the vault. The bell tower was built between 1355 and 1366. The floor plan of the tower is square with rounded corners in the lower, older part. The newer, octagonal upper part dates from 1485 to 1492. There are white stone gargoyles all around the roof.

A gem that took 200 years to build between the 13th and 15th centuries. The slightly austere exterior in the fortress style, totally contrasts with the finesse of the fabulous interior decoration..!

Sainte-Cécile Cathedral, listed with the episcopal city of Albi since July 31, 2010 on the UNESCO World Heritage List, is today one of the most visited cathedrals in France. The building surprises with the contrast between its austere exterior look of a military fortress and the pictorial and sculptural richness of its interior. Monument without equal, it affirms its power through a typical style of the Languedoc south, the southern Gothic. Its unique style is reinforced by its interior decoration.
