The basilica's Romanesque vault contrasts with the Gothic chevet and transept, illuminated by stained glass windows.

Construction of the basilica, a true Romanesque-Gothic masterpiece, began at the end of the 11thcentury . Pope Urban II passed through Carcassonne, and blessed the first stone of the edifice in June 1096. Construction was not completed until the mid-14thcentury , after the Romanesque choir had been rebuilt in Gothic style. Today, the nave is the oldest part of the church. Its Romanesque semi-circular vault contrasts with the Gothic chevet and transept, illuminated by 13th-century stained-glass windows.

Superbe église gothique juste à côté du château. Anciennement c'était la cathédrale de Carcassonne, mais elle est passée au statut de basilique. Vous pouvez y admirer des beaux vitraux anciens (suivez la description du Petit Futé, elle est très complète).

Superbe édifice situé au pied des remparts. Les vitraux sont magnifiques. Je conseille d'y aller lorsque le soleil rayonne en plein sur les vitraux et fait ressortir toutes les couleurs.
