Poitiers - Cathedral of St-Pierre

In the east of Poitiers is the twin-towered Cathedral of St- Pierre, built between 1166 and 1271 (towers and upper part of facade 14th-15th C.). It has three richly decorated doorways, with a Last Judgment over the one in the center, the Coronation and Death of the Virgin on the left-hand one and scenes from the life of St Thomas on the right-hand one. The most notable features of the interior are the beautiful 13th C. stained glass, the richly carved choir-stalls (also 13th C.) and the organ-loft (1778).
