Uzès Cathedral

The most interesting part of the medieval cathedral in Uzés is the round Tour Fenestrelle ("Window Tower"), a 42m/138ft high belfry, erected in the 12th C. on a Lombardian model. Its six stories, which seem to become lighter as they ascend, are divided up by varyingly shaped arches, which from the second floor upwards have windows. Since it served at that time as a watch tower, the building escaped destruction by the Albigenses.
