Cathedral Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Clermont-Ferrand

The Ascension Cathedral was built in 1248 and is a typical Gothic building inspired by the church building in Paris. The unique feature of this church is that it is black, not only black overall, but also black in the light because it is the only church built with volcanic stones. Two "swords" pierced the sky, two large round flower windows are very beautiful, worth a look.

Visit the local churches in Europe, each city, no matter how big or small, has a landmark church, the Ascension of the Virgin is the landmark church of Clermont Ferran. The volcanic rock is built in a very stately appearance, and the interior is also shocking. Every Sunday there are locals worshiping, it is worth visiting.

Clermont-Ferrand is a quiet mountain city surrounded by mountains. The Dom Volcano Forest Park on the west side of Clermont-Ferrand is the envy of all French cities. Clermont-Ferran is one of the most important cities on the central French plateau, and the only one that has developed almost entirely by its own strength (the other two, Limoges and Saint-Etienne, are relatively deviated from the core of the central plateau, So much for the outside world), it has been well established in science, culture, economy and sports. Michelin, the headquarters of the world's top 500 companies, is also a resounding business card for the city.

It seems to be the only black church in the world, the exterior is built with black volcanic rock piles, it is spectacular and worth visiting
