Cathedrale Saint-Pierre

6 bis, rue Abbé-Marcel-Montels, Montpellier, France
Tel: +33 4 67 66 04 12
 

Despite lying in a relatively out of the way part of the historic city centre, and unknown even to many residents of Montpellier, the exterior of Saint Pierre Cathedral is distinguished by its twin towers rising above the surrounding buildings. The current entrance is by the unassuming doorway in Rue du Cardinal Cabrieres, next to which one can still distinguish the marks of shots fired by Royalist troops in 1815. Worth noting is the recent restoration of 19th century stained glass windows and the many paintings, most notably the demise of Simon le Magicien by Sebastien Bourbon (1621). Admission: Free.
