Angouleme Cathedral

Angouleme Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church in Angouleme, Charente, France. The house of prayer is in the Romanesque engineering and sculptural custom, and is the seat of the Bishop of Angouleme. A first house of prayer was based on the site of a crude, pre-Christian asylum, in the 4th century. The structure was decimated when the town was taken by Clovis after the Battle of Vouille 507.

Another house of God was blessed in 560, however this was likewise determined to flame, perhaps by the Vikings/Normans somewhere in the range of two centuries later. A third basilica was then developed under diocesan Grimoard, abbot of Saint-Pierre de Brantome. The new church was blessed in 1017. Be that as it may, toward the start of the 12th century the residents began to think of it as unreasonably little for to the abundance of the area.

Christ is depicted inside mandorlas, while two tall blessed messengers address the witnesses to demonstrate to them the heavenly vision. The inside of the nave is secured with three arches, a transept of extraordinary length with elevated towers over the north and south finishes, and an apsidal choir with four chevet houses of prayer. At the intersection with the transept, is a bigger arch over pendentives, which has supplanted the first one crushed in the Protestant attack of 1568.
