Description
The Cathedrale Saint-Etienne or Saint Stephen's Cathedral in Toulouse, France has existed since the 5th century, but was built mainly in the 13th century. This incredible "unfinished" medieval construction brings together two Gothic styles: the Southern Gothic that is massive and powerful and the Northern Gothic style that is sleek and luminous.
Due to its long, turbulent history, the church seems to be a puzzle made of different styles imperfectly put together, yet the cathedral, also known as Toulouse Cathedral, is a national monument and is the seat of the Archbishop of Toulouse.
