St. Peter and St. Florus Cathedral

About

Saint-Pierre Cathedral in Saint-Flour is one of four cathedrals in Auvergne. It is located in the heart of the city of Saint-Flour (Cantal), on the Place d'Armes bordered by arcades and towards which converge many old streets. In Gothic style, it was completed at the end of the 15th century, at the site of a Romanesque basilica, but was severely damaged during the Revolution.

As with other religious buildings in the area, including the cathedral of Clermont-Ferrand, the material used is volcanic stone — the black lava of Leozargues — which gives it a characteristic dark color. Since 12 September 2021 the episcopal seat has been held by Didier Noblot.
