Limousine Rental in Montpellier

The main religious attraction is Cathedrale St-Pierre built in the middle of the 19th century at the site of an old church constructed in 1536. The basilica is a true Gothic architectural masterpiece. Despite its exterior, it resembles a fortress. The shrine is a complement to the building of Medical School. Today, the Musee Et Conservatoire D'Anatomie is located here. This church was the first to be saved during Huguenot wars. It is also the biggest church in the region of Languedoc-Roussillon. It is 95 m long inside, 102.5 m long outside, and 113 m long with a porch.

When another architectural masterpiece, Porte du Peyrou, was constructed, François d'Orbay took his inspiration from the Porte Saint-Denis, the first triumphal arch in Paris. The construction was completed in 1693. In 1715, bas reliefs and inscriptions lauding the Sun King appeared on the arch. Bas reliefs depict three important events taking place during the reign of Louis XIV: the capture of Namur, the excavation of Canal du Midi that links the Bay of Biscay and the Mediterranean Sea, and the repeal of the Edict of Nantes. On one of the bas reliefs, you can see the Sun King depicted as Hercules. Aqueduc de Saint-Clément is one of the main landmarks of the city. It was constructed in 1772 as a channel that would supply Montpellier with water from Saint-Clement. The aqueduct was modeled on the Pont du Gard in Nimes.
