Historic Churches and Cathedrals

Carcassonne's religious architecture spans from the 13th-century Gothic style of the Saint-Michel Cathedral to the modern 20th-century design of Notre-Dame de Grazailles. The collection features the Southern Gothic Église Saint-Vincent, known for its exceptionally wide single nave, and the 15th-century Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Santé, which historically served as a sanctuary for plague victims near the Pont Vieux. These sites illustrate the ecclesiastical development of both the medieval Cité and the lower Bastide Saint-Louis.
