This Roman Catholic cathedral in the heart of Périgueux's old town is named after the first bishop of Périgueux.
The site has been home to a church since the 6th century but the existing building dates to the 12th century. It is a mix of Byzantine and Romanesque styles with slightly odd domed roofs featuring protruding pinnacles. It is located on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela and has World Heritage listing status.
