About Aix Cathedral

Aix Cathedral in Aix-en-Provence in southern France is a Roman Catholic church and the seat of the Archbishop of Aix-en-Provence and Arles. The church is based on the site of the first century Roman gathering of Aix. Constructed and re-worked from the 12th until the 19th century, it incorporates Romanesque, Gothic and Neo-Gothic components, just as Roman sections and parts of the baptistery from a sixth century Christian church. It is a national landmark of France. The church is situated on the course of the Roman street, the Via Aurelia.

A piece of a Roman divider and the sections of the baptistery appear to be the beginning of the legend that the congregation was based over a Roman sanctuary committed to Apollo. The student of history Pitton guaranteed that the sanctuary had been committed to a sun god, putting together his case with respect to the disclosure of the leg of a statue revealed at the site. The entryways of the house of prayer were appointed by the part in 1505, and were cut of walnut by the siblings Raymond and Jean Bolhit of Aix and by the Toulon artist Jean Guiramand.
