Bazas - Cathédrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste

Bazas - Cathédrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste
Many pilgrims following the Via Lemovicensis visited Bazas, as since medieval times as the blood of John the Baptist was venerated here. The relic got lost during the French Revolution as well as the bishopric seat. The cathedral, dating mainly from the 13th-14th centuries, dominates the central square of Bazas. The western facade, seen here, has three levels. The first with the three Gothic portals, the second above the arches includes a rose window (1537) and the third is a Neoclassical gable from 1723.

Following the "chemin" I had passed through here in July 2007.
