Cahors

Ange du Lazaret

The Angel of Lazaret, a monumental bronze sculpture by the sculptor Marc Petit (born in Saint-Céré in the Lot), stands opposite the tympanum of the cathedral’s north portal. Following an exhibition by the sculptor in Cahors in 2014, the association ‘Les Gardiens de l’Ange’ launched a fundraising campaign to purchase the angel and keep it in Cahors.

Arc de Diane

The Arch of Diana is the main surviving feature of the Roman baths at Divona Cadurcorum, the Gallo-Roman town that later became Cahors. Contrary to what one might think, it is not a temple dedicated to the goddess Diana. The baths, and therefore the arch, date from the 1st and 2nd centuries. The total floor area covered approximately 3,000 m².
