The cathedral. This cathedral, the present parish church, possesses a very eclectic style. It was originally built at the end of the 12th century, like the
ancient watchtower nicknamed “Sarasin tour” that was converted into a bell tower. However only the west part of the cathedral dates to this Roman period
(the choir, the transept and the apses).
The central aisle, the aisles and the façade date to a much later period(18th and 19th century). Nevertheless the cathedral contains many beautiful
elements such as a superb 16th century alter table representing Notre Dame du Rosaire (Our lady of the Rosary) by Louis Bréa in the southern transept or
the Crucifix in olive wood dating back to 1417 located in the choir.
Coming out of the church take a moment to admire the magnificent 18th century monumental gate featuring the two patron saints of the town: Saint-
Sébastien and Saint-Roch.
La Chapelle du Saint-Esprit (The Saint Esprit chapel). located at the beginning of the rue Saint Esprit, it is the oldest chapel of the town, it
welcomed the Pénitents blancs (white sinners) until the French Revolution. Important archaeological digs have lead successfully in this zone of the town,
with many Roman, Greek and Ligurian vestiges already discovered, as well as the ruins of the first Merovingian cathedral of the town. Today the church has
been deconsecrated and now serves as a meeting room for the town council. Right beside the chapel you can find the native home of the writer and poet
Jacques Audiberti.
