St. Peter's Cathedral with a baldachin supported by huge circular piers that once bore the coat of arms of Urban V.

Originally a Benedictine chapel built in 1364, this church became the episcopal see in 1536. Devastated during the Wars of Religion, it was remodeled in the 17th and 19thcenturies in several sections, contrasting with its austere facade and 14th-century porch. The Revolution proclaimed it the "Temple of Reason", before it became a military warehouse. Its most impressive feature is undoubtedly its porch: an imposing baldachin supported by enormous circular pillars that once bore the coat of arms of Urban V.

A beautiful cathedral, well maintained. Dedicated to Saint Peter. Located in the old part of the city dating back to 1364 when it was the church of the monastery of St Benoit.

Suffered extensive damage in the 16th century and rebuilt in the 17th century with fortifications .

It is adjoined to the university of medicine and there are great views of the tower from the back of the university.

It is a must see destination in Montpellier and well worth a visit

La cathédrale Saint-Pierre est située dans le quartier de l'écusson, au cœur de la vieille ville. Elle jouxte la faculté de médecine qui était a l’origine un ancien couvent de bénédictins, le monastère Saint-Benoît dont la cathédrale était le lieu de prière. C’est le monument de style gothique le plus importait de la ville, et la première fois qu’on la découvre, on pense plutôt à un château qu’à une église. Elle est encore en travaux au niveau de l’entrée principale. L’intérieur plutôt classique de ce genre de bâtiments, de majestueux tableaux, de nombreux vitraux colorés qui laissent passer une lumière reposante, sans oublier un magnifique orgue que j’ai eu la chance d’écouter.
A proximité immédiate de pas mal d’endroits que l’on peut visiter à pied et en famille, le jardin botanique, les jardins du Peyrou, la place Royale du Peyrou et sans oublier les nombreuses petites ruelles de la vieille ville où vous trouverez de nombreux petits commerces et endroits pour vous restaurer ou prendre une boisson.

A Catedral é imponente. Suas torres são muito altas. Grande ponto turístico, vale a pena conhecer. No dia em que eu fui ela não estava aberta.
