Es una Catedral de estilo gótico que destaca por su luminosidad y por sus grandes proporciones, pero también por su mobiliario. Sus vidrieras son magníficas y el órgano Cliquot fue instalado durante la Revolución en 1791. Es el mayor edificio religioso de la ciudad y es visible desde lejos en el paisaje urbano.

Its construction began in 1162 by Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine on the ruins of a Roman basilica, and work was well advanced by the end of the 12th century. It is the largest medieval monument in the city of Poitiers.

Attractive exterior, inside is interesting with a lovely organ. Try and go when the organ is being played

No perderse la vidriera de la Crucifixión. Recuerda en parte a Santa Maria del Mar en Barcelona, con su gótico catalán, pero me gusta más esta última.

nice cathedral

It is built in the Romanesque and Early Gothic styles, the latter predominating. It consists of three naves almost equal in height and width, all three of which decrease towards the west, thus enhancing the perspective. Its length is 308 ft., and the keystone of the central vaulted roof is 89 ft. above the pavement. There is no apse, and the exterior generally has a heavy appearance. The principal front, which is broad relative to its height, has unfinished side-towers 105 and 110 ft. tall, begun in the 13th century.

Excelente monumento religioso románico-medieval. En vías de restauración, se encuentra en buen estado para su visita. Planos y afiches están disponibles en diversas partes del templo, con textos en francés, inglés y español.

Most of the windows of the choir and the transepts preserve their stained glass of the 12th and 13th centuries; the end window, which is certainly the first in the order of time, contains the figures of Henry II and Eleanor. The choir stalls, carved between 1235 and 1257, are among the oldest in France.

Absolutely staggering cathedral in Gothic style from 13th century. Don't miss stained glass crucifixion at the end and original 18th century organ.
