Description

Divenuta cattedrale nel 1536, quando l'arcivescovado di Maguelone fu trasferito a Montpellier, Saint-Pierre era in origine la cappella del monastero benedettino di Saint-Benoît.

Da non perdere è il portico, un imponente baldacchino sostenuto da enormi pilastri circolari di 4,55 m di diametro che un tempo portava lo stemma di Urbano V, che studiò e insegnò a Montpellier, poi fu nominato vescovo prima di essere eletto papa ad Avignone (1362).

Esempio rappresentativo del gotico meridionale, è l'unica chiesa medievale dell'Ecusson sopravvissuta alle guerre di religione

All'interno, una grande opera di Sébastien Bourdon riporta alla vita artistica di Montpellier nel XVII secolo.
