THE COLLEGIATE CHURCH AND THE CLOISTER OF SAINT-SALVI
Go there and contact
Splendid vestige surmounted by an astonishing bell tower-watchtower presenting a complex architecture in Albi.
This remarkable vestige of Albi, topped by a watchtower bell tower, is one of the city's oldest buildings. Its complex architecture reflects a succession of construction campaigns blending Romanesque and Gothic styles. Of the cloister, begun in 1270 and partially destroyed during the French Revolution, only the southern gallery remains. It also features Romanesque forms (round arches) and Gothic elements (capitals, pillar decorations).

On peut remarquer,le mélange de pierres et de briques,coïncidant avec les changements de matériaux et de styles,entre le Roman et le Gothique,et le clocher avec sa tourelle,appelée "gachole",qui permettait de surveiller les remparts.
A l'intérieur de l'église,on peut y contempler,un magnifique orgue,et un ensemble de sculptures polychromées en bois.
Attenant à l'église,le cloître un havre de paix,propice à la méditation et à l'observation,en son centre un jardin potager,mis à disposition des passants.
