Former tower of the first city wall built in the 11th and 12th centuries. It was chosen to house, in the 15th century, a hammering automaton that tells the time: the Jacquemart.

Beautiful little streets in the old town of Valence.

Over the centuries, the cathedral has undergone many changes. It was consecrated by Pope Urban II on August 5, 1095, destroyed during the Wars of Religion, and rebuilt identically in the 17th century. In the 18th century, Bishop Alexandre Milon de Mesme extensively renovated his palace and church. In particular, he financed the great organ and its case, a new marble altar, and paintings. The monument to Pope Pius VI, who died in Valencia in 1799 as a prisoner of the Directory, was placed in the choir. In the 19th century, the bell tower was struck by lightning. It was rebuilt, partly in Crussol stone, whose white color contrasted with the rest of the building, which was mainly made of molasse. The cathedral was listed as a historic monument in 1869.
