St. Peter Cathedral

St. Peter's Cathedral is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful Romanesque buildings in France. The Saint-Pierre Cathedral was built in the 12th century by Bishop Girard. The architect Paul Abadie was responsible for its future reforms. For example, Paul Abadie was was responsible for the reform of the six-story tower that rises at the end of the left arm of the transept and the huge Byzantine style dome. If you have time to count, on the facade of the cathedral you'll see more than 70 characters that depict biblical scenes carved in stone. As part of it, you'll see Christ and in the other levels you can see the apostles, the Virgin, scenes of Judgment or the famous epic of the Chanson de Roland (which recounts the capture of Saragossa).

Angoulême Cathedral really is a great sight to see where you can go to see a lot of sculptures. Old buildings are also nearby. In front of the cathedral you'll find the Garden of Angouleme where calm and tranquility are very present in this place. A haven of peace.
