The Cathedral Basilica of Saint Cecilia (French: Basilique Cathédrale Sainte-Cécile d'Albi), also known as Albi Cathedral, is The Seat of The Catholic Archbishop of Albi.

First built in the aftermath of The Albigensian Crusade, the grim Exterior resembles a fortress, but the Interior is lavishly decorated with Art and Sculpture, a very ornate Choir Screen, and Walls in Bright Blues and Golds, in The Toulousian, or, Southern French, Gothic Style.

It was begun in 1282 and was under construction for 200 years.
