EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1904, showcases the ancient and intricately detailed Romanesque archway of the Cathedral of St. Sauveur in Aix-en-Provence, France. Dating back to 1103, this architectural marvel is believed to have been constructed on the site of the Temple of Apollo in the earliest Roman settlement in Gaul. Aix-en-Provence, a town renowned for its troubadours, is home to an eclectic mix of historical structures, with the cathedral and other buildings adorned with relics from various periods of architectural history, ranging from the Corinthian era to the latest designs of the time. The Romanesque style, characterized by its rounded arches, heavy use of stone, and ornate decoration, is particularly evident in the intricately carved archway depicted in this image. With its rich history and architectural significance, the Cathedral of St. Sauveur remains a testament to the enduring cultural heritage of Aix-en-Provence and France as a whole.
