Next to the Palais des Papes, discover Notre-Dame des Doms cathedral and its Provençal Romanesque architecture. From the forecourt, look for the golden statue atop the bell tower, then step inside to admire the decoration of this place of worship. The building has been transformed over the centuries. Please remain quiet and respect religious services during your visit.
