As it stood in 1884
What Clermont-Ferrand Cathedral looked like in its prime.
A towering Gothic silhouette of dark volcanic 'pierre de Volvic' with twin 96.1 m spires rising above the city; a high lead-covered roof behind the façade; large 14th-century rose windows set in square stone frames over the north and south portals; flying buttresses supporting a clerestory and aisles; choir apse with radiating windows and elliptical pillars; interiors of vaulted nave, transept crossing and an earlier crypt in heavy volcanic masonry.
