20의 부아시에르가지 명소 & 주요 장소

Two large domes dominate the Romanesque nave. They represent the most extraordinary example of the so-called "Aquitanian" architectural style: 16 meters in diameter and 32 meters high; only the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul has a taller dome. Also noteworthy is the small, golden church of Saint-Svair, with its large statue of Emperor Charlemagne, who presented it to the church of Cahors.

Worth seeing cathedral in Cahors.

Pretty village nestled between two arms of the Lot!

This St. Etienne Cathedral impressed us deeply again! The building dates back to the 11th century and is very unique with its two domes. Only in Perigeux is there a cathedral with similar architecture. The special feature is the Saint Coiffe, a fabric relic in which the veil of Jesus from the tomb is venerated. In one dome you can see frescoes of saints, in the middle of St. Stephen, the first martyr of the Christians in Jerusalem. During our visit (September 2024), pictures by the late impressionist painter Henri Martin were projected onto the other gray dome. It is worth spending some time in the cathedral!

My personal highlight is Point Valentré. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cahors https://maps.app.goo.gl/u1Tjd348bKiTPbon7?g_st=ic

We recommend going in once. From here you can explore the city centrally.

In the heart of the Cahors vineyard, this small town clings to both sides of a rocky isthmus. On the plateau, we distinguish the oppidum of the Impernal, whose ruins are two thousand years old.

This is the tower of the Saint-Barthélémy church: one of the 10 parish churches in Cahors in the Middle Ages. The large building, in the southern Gothic style, is flanked by an imposing bell tower-porch with 3 superimposed rows of pointed arch bays.
