Built between the XIth and XVth century, the cathedral shows the transition from romanesque to gothic style. Inside, you will admire a collection of stained glasses evoking the saga of William, duke of Normandy, crowned king of England on Christmas Day 1066, after the Battle of Hastings. More episodes of the conquest of England are told by the magnificent Tapestry, manually embroidered on linen in the XIth century, nowadays exposed at the William the Conqueror Cultural Centre. The tour can be completed by a stroll through the charming little city, rich of canals and medieval public laundries.
