Cathedral of Beziers

Built partly on an old cemetery, the construction of the cathedral of Béziers began in the 8th century and ended in the 15th century.

During the Albigensian crusade, the City of Béziers was besieged, burned and the inhabitants were massacred.

The fire caused the entire destruction of the cathedral.

Its reconstruction began in the middle of the 13th century.
