Albi - Cathédrale Sainte-Cécile
Albi was a wealthy and prospering time already in the 11th century, when a bridge, that still exists, was built, to cross the river Tarn.
Albis´s fate changed dramatically, when in 1208 Pope Innocent III and Philip II of France decided to start the Albigensian Crusade to eliminate Catharism in the south of France.
Albi was an important center of the Cathars and got nearly completely destroyed between 1209 and 1229. Many Cathars were burnt at the stake in Albi.
After Albingensian Crusade Bishop Bernard de Castanet, who as well was the Chief Inquisitor, ordered the building of the cathedral of Sainte-Cécile in 1282. This cathedral, built from red bricks, is a massive statement of power. It is one of the largest brick buildings in the world.
I had been in Albi many times before, but in 2017 I stayed in the "Ibis Styles" hotel the first time. I was lucky that I could book the same room in the high rising building I had before. There is an incredible view, so I took photos - again.
Late afternoon.
