About Perpignan Cathedral

The Perpignan Cathedral is a Roman Catholic house of prayer, and a national landmark of France, situated in the town of Perpignan in Languedoc-Roussillon. The house of God was started in 1324 by King Sancho of Majorca, and later completed in the 15th century. It supplanted the Cathedral of Elna, and in this way the congregation was at first the seat of the Bishop of Elne, and after that, from 1602, of the Bishop of Perpignan–Elne.

The house of God was worked in the Catalan Gothic style, due to its relationship with the kingdom of Majorca. It has a wide nave made of seven cross-vaults, and highlights a short transept and apse, whose vault highlights seven keys. The house of God's western facade was never wrapped up. While being reestablished in the 19th and 20th hundreds of years, the Gothic window of the facade was remade, as it had recently been substituted by a basic rectangular opening. The facade likewise includes a patio and clock-tower, which date from the 18th century.
