Français : La cathédrale Sainte-Cécile d'Albi est le siège de l'archidiocèse d'Albi, dans le département du Tarn en France. Elle est construite sur un piton rocheux qui domine le Tarn. Deux siècles auront été nécessaires pour son édification, de 1282 à 1480.
English: The Cathedral of Saint Cecilia also known as Albi Cathedral, is the seat of the Catholic Archbishop of Albi. First built in the aftermath of the Albigensian Crusade, the exterior resembles a fortress, but the interior is lavishly decorated with art and sculpture, a very ornate choir screen, and walls and vaults in bright blues and golds, in the Toulousian or Southern French Gothic. It was begun in 1282 and was completed in 1480. In 2010 the cathedral, along with its episcopal buildings, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
