Description

Castres er en by og kommune i den franske afdeling Tarn. Kommunen havde 42.079 indbyggere pr. 1. januar 2019. Stedet er en del af arrondissementet Castres. Castres opstod ved bredden af Agout, hvor missionærer allerede bosatte sig i det 3. århundrede. På højre bred af floden blev der i 647 grundlagt et benediktinerkloster af herrerne fra Sigibert III's gård. Med sin beliggenhed langs Via Tolosana, en af de fire franske hovedpilgrimsruter til Santiago de Compostella, og tilstedeværelsen af relikvier af Vincentius fra Zaragoza siden 955 i det 9. århundredes klosterkirke blev Castres en kendt etape på pilgrimsvandringerne. Berømmelsen var aftagende, hvilket også kan ses af, at klosteret i 1074 blev ledet fra klosteret Saint-Victor i Marseille. Pave Johannes XXII hævede byen til sæde for et bispedømme den 9. juni 1317. Bispedømmet og sædet forblev indtil 1801, hvorefter bispedømmet blev genindsat i ærkebispedømmet Albi.
