The Episcopal City of Albi, a UNESCO World Heritage site in France, is a medieval ensemble dominated by the red-brick Sainte-Cécile Cathedral, a Gothic masterpiece. Built from the 13th century, its fortress-like design reflects the Church’s power after the Cathar heresy. The adjacent Berbie Palace, now a museum, houses an extensive Toulouse-Lautrec collection. Narrow streets and historic homes add to its charm. This site blends architecture, history, and art seamlessly. It offers a striking glimpse into France’s religious and cultural past.
