Carcassonne Cathedral

Why go

This is the city’s cathedral today, distinct from the former cathedral inside the Cité. Its single nave and side chapels give a different spatial feel from Saint-Nazaire; the choir glass and west rose window reward a deliberate look. The change of cathedral seat in 1803 connects the two churches.

What to look for

• The wide single nave with lateral chapels
• Fourteenth-century stained glass in the choir
• The large rose window in the west wall

Useful to know

• Include Saint-Michel in a lower-town walk rather than assuming it lies inside the Cité.
• Check the current timetable before setting out; the published visiting periods include midday gaps.
