Place et cathédrale de Saint Etienne de Saint Pierre

Cathedral Toulouse, Occitanie, France

What to expect

The Cathédrale Saint-Étienne is a unique and complex cathedral with a mix of architectural styles from different centuries. The current building was constructed mainly in the 13th century and features a combination of Gothic styles, including the massive and powerful southern Gothic and the elegant and luminous northern Gothic. Visitors can admire the richly sculpted stalls, the baroque high altar, the grilles, and the stunning stained-glass windows. The cathedral also features an impressive organ from the 17th century, suspended in the air like a swallow's nest, and is the final resting place of Riquet, the famous designer of the Canal du Midi. The cathedral's eclectic style and rich history make it a fascinating place to visit
