Experts' Choice Award Cathedrale St-Lazare
What the experts agree on
This 12th-century Romanesque cathedral was built to house the relics of St. Lazarus, but steal the show: intricate carved capitals depicting biblical scenes and an awe-inspiring Last Judgment tympanum.
“Its main attractions are the carving of the Last Judgment on the west tympanum, and the capitals, whose carvings depict the three Magi, the flight to Egypt, and the suicide of Judas.”
