The new cathedral "La Major" was built by Léon Vaudoyer between 1852 and 1893 in a romano-byzantine style.
Its exotic style and sumptuous interior decoration are reminiscent of Orient churches. It is the largest cathedral built since the Middle Ages. It is located on the site of the baptistery of the Gauls " les Gaules" and adjoins the former cathedral " La Major", which was cut down by two spans in the mid-19th century. Worthseing : the statues of Botinelly, this "Carli", the altars of "Cantini" and the tomb of " Saint Eugène de Mazenod". Parish priest : Alain Ottonello.ouverture
