The Notre Dame de la Major cathedral was built around 1150 in the Provencal Romanesque style . From 1801 to 1822, during which the Concordat of 1801 was in force, the diocese was temporarily incorporated into the Archdiocese of Aix . Between 1852 and 1893, the new cathedral Sainte Marie Majeure was built in neo-Byzantine style next to the old bishop's church . It has two domed towers and a 16 meter high crossing dome.
