Cathedral of Notre-Dame-du-Puy

Notre-Dame-du-Puy, Grasse Cathedral, Cathédrale Notre-Dame-du-Puy de Grasse
France, Grasse
The Cathedral of Notre Dame du Puy was built in the 12th century. For centuries, it suffered from fires and other political situations, so it was rebuilt and updated more than once. The cathedral was built of bricks using the Lombard masonry technique, and the facade was made of white stone brought from La Turbie. The cathedral is divided into three naves, has a bell tower, an underground crypt with a chapel and a chapel of the Holy Communion. It strikes with its "antiquity" in the literal sense. It houses many paintings of religious themes, among which it is worth noting the paintings of Rubens, Fragonard and Louis Brea. Notre-Dame-du-Puy Cathedral remains an active temple today.

On the old Place Petit-Puy in Grasse, the Cathedral of Notre Dame du Puy is located. The first surviving mention of the Cathedral dates back to 1154, but it says about the already functioning Cathedral, the dates of its construction are unknown. The building, of course, was subjected to reconstruction, especially in the 17th century, but to a large extent retained its original appearance. The lighting on a cloudy day was more than modest, I did not notice any instructions to prohibit the use of flash, but I did not want to disturb the atmosphere that prevailed here with a blitz.
