About Cathedral Saint-Just et Saint-Pasteur de Narbonne
Towering over the old town of Narbonne, the Cathédrale Saint-Just-et-Saint-Pasteur is one of the most astonishing Gothic buildings in the south of France — a cathedral that was never finished. Only its immense choir was completed, in the 13th and 14th centuries, but that choir alone soars to nearly 41 metres, among the tallest in the country, a vertiginous forest of stone and glass that hints at the colossal church that was planned. Blocked by the town walls and lack of funds, the nave was never built, leaving a magnificent fragment of soaring ambition. A fine cloister and the adjoining archbishops' palace complete the ensemble. Grand, dizzying and hauntingly incomplete, Saint-Just de Narbonne is a spectacular monument to medieval aspiration at the heart of this historic Roman city.
