Cahors - Cathédrale Saint-Étienne
The Cahors Cathedral was erected between 1080 and 1135. It got consecrated by Pope Calixtus II in 1119. The same pope, who two years later could imprison his rival "Antipope" Gregory VIII. Four years later, Calixtus ended the Investiture Controversy by agreeing with Emperor Henry V on the Concordat of Worms.
During the times of medieval pilgrimage, this cathedral was an important place on the "Via Podiensis", as the "Sainte Coiffe" could be venerated here. This "Holy Headdress" was believed to have been used during Jesus' burial. Legends tell, that it had been given to the Bishop of Cahors by Charlemagne, but what is more likely it was brought to Cahors by Bishop Gerard de Cardillac after his trip to the Holy Land in 1113. A relic similar to the "Shroud of Turin"..
A prominent feature of the cathedral are the two domes over the (a third one collapsed in the 13th century). Here is one. The paintings were coated with plaster and got rediscovered in the 19th century. Seen in the centre is the martyrdom of Saint Steven (Stephanus, Etienne) to whom the church is dedicated.
