Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Saint-Pierre Cathedral is a Catholic cathedral in Montpellier. It was originally a chapel in the 14th century, as the cathedral has been known since 1536.
Damaged during the religious wars of 1561 - 1567, in 1629 it was restored by order of Cardinal Richelieu. In 1855 - 1875 it was reconstructed.
Since 1906 it has been a historical monument.

Particularly pretty when the sunlight comes through the stained glass and "colors" the columns. Worth a visit but be aware of the climb up and down (if you are coming from the center of town) to get to it - fortunately there are railings available to make your way down to the cathedral - I would not want to try it on a rainy day, even with those railings. Note that the closing time (it was 1700 when we were there) is taken strictly, so be aware of that as well when you plan your visit.

All tastes are in nature... There is nothing magnificent about this church, it is even somewhat banal from an architectural point of view. In its defense, it was not originally intended to become a cathedral, but the church of a monastery. That said, between the center and the Jardin des Plantes, it constitutes an almost obligatory passage, with its curious and imposing canopy under which the entrance is hidden.

This is located close to the faculté de medicine, l'arc de triomphe, parc du peyrou, and jardin des plantes, so it's nice to visit everything at once. The cathedral inside is large, darkly lit, and has some pretty statues and paintings. The most impressive thing we saw there was the beautiful organ. Outside you can walk to a little public garden and sit on benches and observe the cathedral from the outside. Worth a visit. Free entrance.

Fantastic free concerts on Saturday afternoons, this is a different kind of cathedral. Located in the heart of the city, surrounded by leaning streets and other beautiful smaller chapels turned into private homes.

This enormous church looks like the entrance to a medieval fort at the doorway. We were lucky enough to be there on a Sunday morning when the choir was practicing. The acoustics were amazing. Then the many church bells rang and the sound echoed across the old city streets with an awesome sound. The inside is also gothic, built in 1536 with side altars that include gigantic religious paintings.

My wife and I together with other members of our tour group attended Christmas Day Mass here. It is also worthwhile visiting when there is no service in order to look at the large organ and the side chapels.

My personal favourite among the historic sights in Montpellier is undoubtedly Cathedrale Saint Pierre (Saint Peter). The gothic Church was founded 1364 belonging to the Saint Benoit Monastery, but in 1536 it was elevated to a cathedral when the bishop of Maguelone transferred to Montpellier. The Cathedral was heavily damaged during the Wars of Religion and needed to be rebuilt in the 17th century. The size was increased during the 19th century.
Admire the pictures from the life of Saint Peter. There are also 14 chapels to discover.
There might not be alot of interesting sights to visit in the city, but Montpellier is an excellent base to discover the Languedoc-Roussillon region.

The Cathedral is quite beautiful so definitely worth a visit. You'll probably end up passing it when walking around.
