Cathédrale St-Pierre

On the foundations of a Benedictine abbey from 1011, this formidable cathedral was rebuilt in Flamboyant Gothic style with a lofty nave and elaborate chancel. Its 16th-century cloister, accessed from rue de l'Evêché, was designed to offer wet-weather protection for Compostela pilgrims.
