Apt Cathedral

Local nameCathédrale Sainte-Anne
LocationApt, France

Apt Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church and former cathedral located in the town of Apt in Provence, France now designated as a national monument.

The shrine is the relic church of Saint Anne. Once a former cathedral, it was the seat of the Bishop of Apt until the French Revolution. Under the Concordat of 1801, the diocese was divided between the Dioceses of Avignon and Digne.

Pope Pius IX granted a Pontifical decree of coronation towards its venerated Marian image through the Archbishop of Avignon, Monsigneur Louis Anne Dubreil on 9 September 1877. The white marble image depicting a child Blessed Virgin Mary is notable for having been a late creation of the renowned religious sculptor, Giovanni Maria Benzoni.
