Construction of the Gothic cathedral began in 1273, but was not finally completed until 1888.  The cathedral combines elements of Romanesque architecture, Gothic architecture and Renaissance architecture. It is noted for the Flamboyant facade of the transept, vestiges of Romanesque architecture, particularly in the bell tower, and the Renaissance rood screen with reliefs of the labors of Hercules, built in 1534.
