Amazing Roman Catholic cathedral in almost perfect condition! Very interesting interior.. I saw the portrait of Jesus in very different styles, there’s a labyrinth in the center of the ground. Baroque sculptures. The area was completely destroyed during WWI, but the church was kept untouched thanks to the peoples protection.

One of the most beautiful cathedrals I have seen in my life due to the fact that it is quite old, with preserved orginal patterns and not very well-known! It has an amazing exterior and also an interior that you can enter for free! 😌

Wow!!! What a beautiful place to visit and feel humbled and amazed. Go and see it and the area of Amiens is beautiful full of history and the train ride for 10 Euros around the city is great even if your English as the tour is in Frence you still see some cool places 😎

Spectacular gothic cathedral, both inside and outside. Great light show every night (summertime). The Cathedral hosts the holy relic of St. John the Baptist (part of his face). Good giftshop also. Must visit when in Amiens.

Beautiful cathedral. Very good place to take photos. On some days there are guided tours for the choir stalls.
