ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST CATHEDRAL
Cathedral Saint-Jean-Baptiste of Alès, classified as a historical monument, offering a stylistic panel of architectural languages
Originally built on the site of a Gallo-Roman temple and destroyed during the Wars of Religion, it was rebuilt in neoclassical style in the 17th century and became a cathedral under Louis XIV. Listed as a historic monument since 1914, and renovated over a 25-year period until 2023, it offers a stylistic range combining Romanesque, Gothic and neoclassical architectural styles, adorned with faithfully restored works by Joseph Marinelli and Antoine Sublet.

We drove from out of town to visit at the advertised open time of 2pm so that we had time to get back for school pick up only to have a notice on the door saying opening time starts at 3pm. I thought the church wanted to improve numbers not continue to reduce them.
