Cathédrale de la Major

Facing the seafront, la Major catches the eye with its domes and contrasting stone façades. Discover this 19th-century cathedral with its Romanesque-Byzantine architecture, then take time to admire its sculptures, altars and interior decoration. A walk around the building rounds off your visit. Access to the interior remains subject to services and the cathedral’s opening hours.
