Place Saint-Maurice, 38200 Vienne, VIENNE, FRANCE
Vienne Cathedral is a Roman Catholic cathedral, dedicated to Saint Maurice, and a national monument of France. The Gothic church was built over a long period, between 1052 and 1533. It is a basilica, with three aisles, but no apse or transepts, 315 feet in length, 118 feet wide and 89 feet in height. The most striking portion is the west front, which rises majestically from a terrace overhanging the Rhône. But the sculptural decoration was badly damaged by the Protestants in 1562, during the French Wars of Religion.
