Photos of Avignon Cathedral

The Notre-Dame Basilica is located next to the Pope's Palace, which is the oldest religious building in Avignon. On the top of the west tower is a gilded statue of the Virgin, and inside there is a masterpiece of 14th-century Gothic sculpture, the mausoleum of John XXII. There is a bell tower in the church. There are a total of 35 bells in it. It is said that the sound of the bell tower in France is very bright. Each bell has its own name. Because the size is different, the sound is also different.
