Bishopric since the Early Middle Ages, Cavaillon still has its beautiful cathedral with its chapter, 14th and 15th century Romanesque cloister, and the ruins of a church in what is now a school courtyard.
Notre-Dame de Saint-Veran Cathedral was built in the 11th century, raised in the 12th century and underwent extensions in the 16th and 17th century with the addition of the side chapels. The cathedral interior boasts gilt wood panelling from the 17th century and19th century mural paintings, as well as paintings by Mignard and de Parrocel.
