NOTRE DAME CATHEDRAL
Notre-Dame de Montauban Cathedral, at the highest point of the old city, considered a masterpiece of classical art
The same year that the Edict of Nantes was revoked, King Louis XIV decided to build a new cathedral to better assert Catholicism in the former Protestant stronghold. The best architects followed the construction from a distance. The construction began in 1692 and was not completed until 1739. It is considered a masterpiece of classical art, its immaculate white façade standing out in a cityscape dominated by red brick. Located at the highest point of the old town, it is visible from the left bank of the Tarn.
