Cathedral Of Saint Nazaire, Languedoc Roussillon, France
Tags: france (99 pics)
The Basilica of St. Nazaire and St. Celse or St. Nazarius and St. Celsus (Basilique Saint-Nazaire-et-Saint-Celse de Carcassonne), is a basilica minor in Carcassonne, southern France, listed as a national monument of the country.
It was formerly the cathedral of Carcassonne until 1801 (220 years ago), when it was replaced by the present Carcassonne Cathedral (Cathédrale Saint-Michel de Carcassonne).
The present church is in origin a Romanesque of the 11th century, consecrated by Pope Urban II in 1096 (925 years ago). It was built on the site of a Carolingian cathedral, of which no traces now remain. The crypt too, despite its ancient appearance, dates from the new construction. The church was enlarged between 1269 (752 years ago) and 1330 (691 years ago) in the Gothic style then predominant in France, largely at the expense of the Bishop of Carcassonne, Pierre de Rochefort.
The exterior was largely renewed by Viollet-le-Duc, while the interior has largely remained the Gothic original.
