Take a tour of Perpignan Cathedral in Perpignan, France – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

Perpignan, France is well known for its Cathedral of St. Jean, also called Perpignan Cathedral.

It is a beautiful medium sized Roman Catholic church with a reddish-tan color.

Romanesque elements were added as an homage to the ancient church it replaced.

The church is a historical building, with construction beginning in 1324 and finished roughly a century later.

One of its more distinctive features is the open, iron wire bell tower, which sits atop a stark white clock pedastal.

The Perpignan Cathedral is famous throughout France and has been the seat of two prominent bishops.
