Saint-Front Cathedral
Highlight • Religious Site
In the 19th century, the cathedral, which was threatened with decay, was completely renovated, although the commissioned architect Paul Abadie did too much in part and crowned the domes with historically inaccurate columned turrets and small figures in order to emphasize the Byzantine character of the building emphasize.

Points of interest of the Church of Saint-Étienne de la Cité:
History and architecture:
The church dates from the 12th century and served as a cathedral until the 16th century, before this honor went to the Cathedral of Saint-Front. Its structure bears witness to the architectural evolution, with a massive Romanesque nave, sculpted capitals and a vaulted apse in a cul-de-four, characteristics of the Romanesque style.
After being partially destroyed during the Wars of Religion, the church was restored several times, preserving a unique blend of Romanesque and Gothic styles.
A sober and spiritual interior:
The interior of the church is relatively bare, which adds to its peaceful and spiritual atmosphere. The sobriety of the place highlights the clean lines of the architecture and the historical elements that remain, such as the Romanesque columns and sculpted capitals.
Traces of ancient frescoes, as well as some colored stained glass windows, add touches of subtle beauty to the whole.
Impressive bell tower:
The church is topped by a massive bell tower, whose Romanesque base is a typical example of the architecture of the Périgord. This bell tower, with its robust buttresses, is a dominant element of the landscape of the Cité.
An archaeological site:
The church is located in the heart of the Cité Vesunna district, which is home to many Gallo-Roman remains. In the immediate vicinity of the church, visitors can discover the ruins of the Roman amphitheater and other testimonies of antiquity.
