Church built in the First Empire style following the plans of the Toulouse architect Julien Rivet in Albi
Built between 1848 and 1851, on the site of the former chapel of the Capuchin convent, the church of Sainte-Madeleine was designed by Toulouse architect Julien Rivet. Built in the First Empire style, it was inspired by the Madeleine church in Paris and has been embellished over the years with paintings, sculptures, altarpieces... Highlights include the choir's 1863 paintings by Romain Cazes, a pupil of Ingres, as well as the polychrome wooden statue of St. John the Baptist, the 1887 organ and the crucifix, all of which are listed as historic monuments.
