Built in the 6th century, rebuilt in the 11th and enlarged in the 15th, the Cathédrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste features magnificent Gothic walnut choir stalls, all different from one another, as well as a cloister and crypt.
Its neo-classical porch was added in 1771 to house the tombs of three of the first princes of the House of Savoy: Humbert aux Blanches Mains (the founder), Amédée "la Queue" and Boniface "le Roland".
