Église Saint-Jean le Vieux de Perpignan

About

Saint-Jean-le-Vieux de Perpignan is a Romanesque church, currently partially decommissioned, located in Perpignan, in the French department of the Pyrénées-Orientales. A former collegiate, it was replaced in the 14th century by a new and vast building of southern Gothic style, which in 1602 became the cathedral of Saint John the Baptist of the diocese of Perpignan-Elne. The Gothic cathedral flanks the Romanesque building to the south, which has been preserved.
