The other day we visited Saint Cecile Cathedral in Albi. In the Middle Ages, the bigger your church was, the more power one was viewed to have. So, the Lord in Albi decided to build a huge cathedral to show his power. It stands today as the tallest BRICK structure in the world. It is pretty impressive.
Saint Cecile is the patron saint of musicians. The cathedral is beautiful inside. The dominant color used in it is blue, which was also a symbol of wealth and power in the Middle Ages.
