The highest point of the Nevers town centre is the Cathedral, built between the 10th to the 16th centuries. Its oldest feature, the remains of a 6th-century baptistery, was found only in 1944, after it was revealed by heavy bombing in World War II. The blown out windows have now been replaced by stunning modern stained glass.
Nevers Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church located in the town of Nevers, Nièvre, France, and dedicated to Saints Cyricus and Julitta. The cathedral is the seat of the Bishop of Nevers. It is a national monument. The cathedral was designated a basilica in the mid-19th century and as a Monument Historique in 1862.
