Located in the heart of Toulouse, St. Stephen's Cathedral impresses with its mix of styles due to a construction that took place over several centuries. Its construction extends between the thirteenth and seventeenth century, and the building originally adjoined the former Episcopal palace which now houses the current prefecture.
Listed building and mixing the Southern Gothic and Gothic styles, it has given its name to the surrounding neighborhood. Inside, visitors are attracted by its finely carved choir stalls, baroque altar or its incredible stained glass whose oldest dates from the fourteenth century. All around the nave, richly decorated chapels tables, altars and other altars are also visible, while fans will be attracted to the organ case suspended swallow's nest from the early seventeenth century. It is the oldest of all the Pink City.
Entering through the nave raimondine, it is possible to admire the Gothic choir of Île-de-France style and pay tribute to Pierre-Paul Riquet, the promoter of the Canal du Midi, whose tomb is found in the crypt.
