Embrun - Cathédrale Notre-Dame-du-Réal
Since 365, when Saint Marcellin became the first bishop here, a cathedral existed in Embrun. Saint Gregory of Tours wrote about a "basilica mirabilis" built over the tombs of Saints Nazarius and Celsus. After the Lombards had sacked Embrun end of the 6th century, Charlemagne funded the erection of a new cathedral. In the 10th century the Sarazens raided the area - and again looted the town (and killed the bishop).
The cathedral of today was built on foundations of Charlemagne´s basilica between 1170 and 1220. It has an impressive ribbed vaulting made of black and white stones.
The capitals around the nave are Romanesque. It is easy, to "read" the right scene (Adam, Eve, snake, tree), the left scene is not that easy. Three ladies. The mhyrrbearers (aka "Three Maries")?
