When you wander around Bazas on foot, you’re bound to approach the imposing Saint Jean Baptiste Cathedral. The structure’s jagged Gothic spire and long nave rise above the rest of the city. One of the main landmarks on the Santiago de Compostela route, this cathedral is visited by both trekking pilgrims and regular tourists. Construction of the cathedral began in 1230 on the site of a Roman sanctuary. This longstanding cathedral has survived multiple attacks over the years. Huguenots and revolutionaries attempted to destroy the building, yet extensive renovation work has ensured that the UNESCO World Heritage-listed site has remained largely intact. Examine the ornate, detailed exterior of the building. The spire and arches are traditionally Gothic in style. However, notice the rose window, from 1537, over the entrance. Inspect the relief sculptures carved into the walls. To the right of the cathedral lies the Garden of the Chapter, where religious relics from church history are on display. Step into the grand nave and look upward to see the triangular patterns of the vaulted ceiling. The rose window is just one of several stained-glass features along the length of the building. Climb the tower for views of Cathedral Square and the town of Bazas. Two angel statues hover over the altar, where Mass is held every Sunday. Join local worshippers and witness a church service in a historic setting. The square outside the city hosts events and markets throughout the year. Watch the annual lighting of bonfires on June 23, which marks the beginning of the Feast of St. John. The large square also hosts festivals dedicated to blue pigeons and beef, as well as markets, such as the flower market in May. Entry to Saint Jean Baptiste Cathedral is free. Find the cathedral in central Bazas, about a 5-minute walk from the hospital and tourist office. If you want to book a guided tour, inquire at the tourist office. ### Popular places to visit ![The simple beauty of an old fortress. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/3000396819/f94aa56f-5bfb-4aeb-83b9-37f33966b119.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Château Royal de Cazeneuve You can browse the exhibits at Château Royal de Cazeneuve, a museum with a storied past, during your travels to Prechac.
