Old cathedral of Saint-Vincent in Mâcon, classified as a historical monument, preserving only the 2 towers connected to each other

The two towers and the Romanesque narthex are the only remains of the former Saint-Vincent cathedral, built in the ^6th century. Destroyed then rebuilt several times, this historic monument is now closed to the public, but the exterior is well worth a visit, either on your own or with a guided tour from the tourist office. You'll need to be patient for a few more years before you can enjoy the whole building, as major renovation work is due to start in 2025. Among other things, these will recreate the footbridge that linked the two towers in the ^18th century.

After the French Revolution this church, built in the 12th century, was beyond repair and most of it was demolished.

What remained were the two mighty towers and at the back some romanesk details

A sad sight

L'intérieur ne se visite pas, mais on peut en apercevoir une partie via des vitres en faisant le tour des restes de la Cathédrale.
Ces vestiges restent impressionnants quand on sait la taille que faisait ce bâtiment à l'origine.

La cattedrale di san Vincenzo non è visitabile e le informazioni sono scarne per poter apprezzarne il valore. Forse siamo stati sfortunati, ma tutto il centro storico era oggetto di lavori stradali, con molti negozi chiusi e molti edifici mal tenuti e non è stato possibile fare nemmeno una passeggiata per le vie del centro. In definitiva la città non merita una sosta, se si è di passaggio meglio procedere oltre.
