Cathedrale St. Sauveur

The inside of this church is very simple, and the outside is scarred, but it also shows that this church is indeed very historic. There are many religious sculptures and frescoes inside. You can take a closer look. Sometimes you can come across worship.

The church is still quite large, and it is all made of marble. It feels very solemn. The internal space is large, without excessive luxury decoration, and the atmosphere is very serious. Not bad.

A church with a lot of feeling. One morning I also attended a mass with the local residents. There was also a boy choir singing hymns. It felt very sacred and it felt very good.

The Cathedral of Saint-Sauveur of Saint-Sauveur of Cathédrale, located in the north of the Earl of Aix’s old city, is the Cathedral of Saint Saviour of Aix and is the main church of the Archdiocese of Aix. The building is magnificent and the interior decoration is gorgeous and exquisite. The exquisite religious art relief tells the story of the Bible. The main hall retains some ancient Roman columns and a 6th century baptistery. The sarcophagus of the fifth century, the Roman nave and apse of the 12th century, the chapel of the 14th century, and the Baroque organ of the 18th century are all priceless treasures. It was a Roman market in the first century. This church was built between the 13th and 14th centuries. Affected by different cultures, Romanesque, Gothic and Neo-Gothic styles will gradually merge and be reflected in the architectural features. There is a Gregorian chant performance on Sunday afternoon. Opening hours 8:00-12:00, 14:00-18:00. A 15-minute walk from the train station.

No tickets are required, you can visit, and there are obligatory commentators. The most famous is its square courtyard. The carvings on the pillars are worth seeing. They are about the most famous chapters of the New Testament and the Old Testament. The corner pillars are twisted, implying the transformation of old and new. The facade of the church is very small, so there is no cave in it.

Cézanne was baptized in St. Suville's Cathedral, where his funeral was also held. The church is a blend of architectural styles from the 5th to the 17th centuries, with three shrines in three styles: Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque. Inside the Gothic nave, a 15th-century French painter's triad, Maria on the Thorn, is surrounded by iron fences. The cloisters are also the main attraction: a beautiful 12th-century, pure Romanesque cloister. However, can't go in at will, every half hour is guided by dedicated staff, each time limited number, we missed the last tour in the morning. The cloister closed at noon and started at 14:00 pm.

St. Suville's Cathedral is a Gothic traffic, still quite high, very spectacular, the outside wall of the church has many carvings, very beautiful, the most beautiful is the carving above the main door, beautiful, the interior of the church cloisters are very beautiful.

The church is the center of Aix, not much in terms of beauty and not much decoration inside, but the church itself has a complete architectural style that shows the history of Roman times. Not gorgeous, but quaint and elegant.
