Entrevaux, Maritime Alps, France - Cathedral of Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption

Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption Cathedral was between 1624 and 1790 the Cathedral of the Bishop of Glandèves. Built at the beginning of the 17th century, it was consecrated in 1627 and classified as a Historical Monument in 1996. Integrated into the fortifications of the city at the end of the 17th century, it reveals from this time a crenellated belfry which then serves as a defense tower. Inside, you can admire several objects and other works of art classified like the altarpiece and its painting representing the baptism of Christ, stalls in walnut of the seventeenth century, a statuette of St. John in silver, reliquary bust of Saint Peter in gilded wood, or organs of the early eighteenth century.
