SAINT JEAN BAPTISTE CATHEDRAL
PERPIGNAN , Pyrénées-Orientales – Cultural heritage
About
The Cathedral of St John the Baptist is a masterpiece of Southern Gothic architecture. The Romanesque church of Saint-Jean le Vieux had become too small, and the construction of a new building was initiated by Sanç de Majorque in 1324. The collapse of the kingdom of Majorca brought construction to a halt, but it was resumed in the 15th century, The original three-aisle plan was abandoned: the Mallorcan architect Guillem Sagrera, one of the leading architects of his time and the creator of Palma de Mallorca cathedral, opted for a single, large Gothic nave. The work was completed in 1509. The church became a cathedral in 1602. The façade was adorned with a porch in the 17th century and a wrought-iron bell tower in the 18th century.
