The cathedral is an impressive Gothic church. The windows and the light are fantastic. The side altars for Peter and John the Baptist are beautifully designed and painted with pictures from the lives of both of them.

Bazas is located directly on the Way of St. James. The old cathedral is structurally very impressive. It is located on a large square, surrounded by restaurants and tourism. Very rewarding.
