The basilica's Romanesque vault contrasts with the Gothic chevet and transept, illuminated by stained glass windows.

The construction of the basilica began at the end of the 11th century. Pope Urban II passed through Carcassonne and blessed the first stone of the edifice in June 1096. Construction was not completed until the mid-14th century, after the Romanesque choir had been rebuilt in Gothic style. The nave is now the oldest part of the church. Its Romanesque semi-circular vault contrasts with the Gothic chevet and transept, illuminated by 13th-century stained-glass windows.

Csodálatos bazilika. A hangulatát elsősorban a fő hajó magassága, a hatalmas oszlopok és a csodálatos festett üvegablakok adják meg. Már a 11. században felépült román stílusban, 1096-ban II. Orbán pápa szentelte fel. Az eredeti román stílusú templomból ma már csak a háromhajós első rész áll, a kereszthajó és a szentély már a gótika jegyében épült a 13-14. században. Ideiglenesen itt temették el a vár egykori parancsnokát, az albigensek elleni keresztes hadjárat egyik résztvevőjét V. Simon de Montfort (1160 körül – Toulouse, 1218. június 25.) hadvezért, francia nemesembert (címei: Montfort-l’Amaury ura, Leicester 5. grófja, Montfort bárója, Toulouse grófja).
