The cathedral was built for the first time in the XIIth century (Romanic style). The bottom(stocking) of the bell tower stays today only. In 1233, they lay the foundations of the Gothic Cathedral: with his(her,its) triple portal(gate) adorned with 290 statues. Dedicated in 1095 by the pope Urbain II, to saint Jean Baptiste, the Cathedral will know different architectural evolutions until the XIXth century.
