Description

The construction of St. Stephen's Cathedral and the early episcopal complex is traditionally attributed to Bishop Didier in the 7th century. The Roman cathedral's two main altars were consecrated in 1119 by Pope Calixtus II. The nave is covered by the 2 largest domes in the southwest. The tympanum of the north portal dates from the 12th century.

The cloister, a true masterpiece of flamboyant Gothic art, was built between 1493 and 1553.
The cloister is surrounded by various buildings belonging to the chapter. The Saint-Gausbert chapel, decorated with paintings from the very end of the 15th century, has housed the cathedral's treasury since 1972.
