Forcalquier Cathedral

[1][2] Erected in the 12th century as a collegiate church, the cathedral of Forcalquier became a second seat of the Bishop of Sisteron in 1408, and for that reason is referred to as a co-cathedral.

The diocese of Sisteron was abolished in 1801, after which the cathedral continued as a parish church.

[3] The nave, the choir, the transept and the cloister date from the early 13th century, representing one of the first examples of Gothic style in southern France.

[1] The church houses a panel of the Triumph of Christ by Pierre Mignard.
