Basilique Saint Nazaire

Visited early in the morning, and it was the quietest moment of the day, which made the church feel especially solemn and sacred. The calm atmosphere truly allows you to appreciate its historical and spiritual presence. The stained-glass windows are exceptionally large and absolutely beautiful, casting soft light throughout the interior. The combination of Romanesque and Gothic elements gives the basilica a unique and striking character. A must-visit while in Carcassonne’s old city. Take your time to walk through and admire the details – it’s a peaceful and awe-inspiring experience.

A beautiful basilica across from the Hôtel de la Cité Carcassonne. Gorgeous architecture and stained glass windows. Free entry. A wonderful, quiet place to stop in and enjoy.

A must-see when visiting the medieval cité of Carcassonne! The Basilica Saint-Nazaire is an absolute gem, rich in history and stunning architecture. You can literally see the transition from Romanesque to Gothic styles as you walk through—especially in the roof and arches, where the heavy, rounded Romanesque stonework gives way to soaring Gothic vaults and stained glass windows. The light through the centuries-old glass is breathtaking, and the detail in the stone carvings is incredible. It’s peaceful, beautifully preserved, and full of character. Don’t skip this historic beauty!

Beautiful 800 year old church. Stunning stained glass.

This was awe-inspiring and certainly the best in architecture. On entering i got incredibly emotional due to the splendour of everything. The stained glass windows, the alter just everything takes your breath away.

The Gothic-Romanesque basilica of Saint Nazarius and Celsus has stunning stained-glass windows, one of which is one of the oldest in the south of France. The church is a national monument, and for anyone visiting Carcassonne and its medieval castle, the basilica should as well be on the must-see list.

Very nice. Eclectic styles of stained glass which are impressive. Some almost glowing mosaic.

The Roman Catholic sandstone Basilique Saints Nazaire e Selse in Gothic-Romanesque architecture from the 12th-C. holds some of the oldest and most beautiful stained glass mosaic windows.
