Saint-Pierre Cathedral

St. Pierre became a cathedral in 1536 when the diocese of Maguelone was transferred to Montpellier under King François I.

Don't miss the impressive canopy porch supported by two monumental cylindrical pillars (4.55 m in diameter!), which formerly bore the coat of arms of Urbain V.

The medieval mikve is a ceremonial Jewish bath dating from the 13th Century. One reminder of the importance of the Jewish community who had played a leading role in the development and influence of Montpellier.
Situated in the heart of what was once the Jewish quarter, the bath is now one of the best-preserved mikves in Europe.
