Cathedral Saint-Lizier

The cathedral was built in the 11th Century. The cathedral has a Gothic-styled octogonal belfry, and contains a collection of Romanesque frescoes.

The town is named in honor of its 6th Century bishop Lycerius, canonized as Saint Lizier, a bishop who participated in the Council of Agde in 506.

Right: Cloisters

The cathedral's Romanesque cloisters have carved capitals.

The cloister is topped off with a gallery that was added in the 14th Century.

Saint Lizier is a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its significance on the ancient pilgrimage route across the Pyrenees to Santiago de Compostela in Spain (along Saint James’s Way).
