Another must-see Carcassonne attraction for history and architecture enthusiasts, St. Vincent’s Church is a fine example of classic Gothic Languedoc style. The main architectural features of the church are an impressive vault and an octagonal tower which rests on a square base. The top of the tower houses a carillon of 47 bells – you can walk up the 232 steps for sweeping views of the city. The interior is rich in historic gems including four 14th century statues of St. Vincent, St. Louis (the founder of Carcassonne) and two apostles, beautiful paintings and stained glass windows. The church is included in most of the popular guided Carcassonne walking tours or you can explore at your own pace on a self-guided tour.
