The Cathedral of Saint Cecilia of Albi (Cathédrale Sainte-Cécile d’Albi), also known as Albi Cathedral, is the located in Albi, in the Tarn department in Occitania (France). First built in the aftermath of the Albigensian Crusade, the grim exterior resembles a fortress, but the interior is lavishly decorated with art and sculpture, a very ornate choir screen, and walls in bright blues and golds, in the Toulousian or Southern French Gothic style.
