CATHEDRALE ST NAZAIRE
BEZIERS , Hérault – Cultural heritage
About
It is one of the emblems of Béziers, visible from far away, as if standing at the prow of the Roman and medieval ramparts of the ancient city. On the “acropolis of Béziers” we say here Built on the ruins of the Romanesque cathedral burned during the Crusade against the Cathars (1209); and on the remains of a Roman temple, Saint Nazaire, majestic and austere, watches over the city. In 1209, it “imploded like a pomegranate”, burned by the troops of the King and the Pope, commanded by Arnaud Amaury. The reconstruction lasted until the 15th century But it was not completed for all that: for lack of sufficient means, the cloister of St Nazaire was never finished: a large number of capitals on the garden side colonnades are missing.
