The church can be visited

In the southern French city of Toulon, the Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-la-Seds de Toulon stands as a house of worship. As a national monument of France, it combines architectural elements from various eras, from its Romanesque beginnings in the 11th century to its completion in the 18th century.

History+

The cathedral's origins date back to the 5th century, when a bishop's church already existed on this site, though no traces of it remain. According to tradition, the construction of the current edifice began in 1096 under Count Gilbert of Provence. From this Romanesque phase, the first three bays of the nave and the present Saint Joseph's Chapel, which was originally the choir apse, are still preserved. In the 15th century, the Chapel of Relics was added.
