Cathédrale St-Sacerdos
Once part of Sarlat's Cluniac abbey, Cathédrale St-Sacerdos is a real hotchpotch of styles. The wide, airy nave and its chapels date from the 17th century; the cruciform chevet (at the far end from the entrance) is from the 14th century; and the western entrance and much of the belfry above it are 12th-century Romanesque. The organ dates from 1752.
