Located on the Tarn River in southwestern France, the old city of Albi is a culmination of medieval architecture and urban integrity. Today, the Pont-Vieux, the Saint-Salve quarter and its church bear witness to the city's early development (10th-11th centuries). After the Albigensian Crusade against the Cathar pagans (13th century), the city became a powerful episcopal city. The towering fortified cathedral (late 13th century), built of local bricks in a distinctive southern French Gothic style with typical red and orange colours, is the city's commanding point and demonstrates the power regained by the Roman Catholic clergy. Next to the cathedral is the huge episcopal palace, overlooking the river, surrounded by residential areas dating back to the Middle Ages. The episcopal city of Albi forms a coherent and homogeneous group of monuments and neighbourhoods that have remained largely unchanged over the centuries.
