Sights in Perigueux

The museum of art and archaeology houses an excellent prehistoric selection of findings and skeletons from the region. 

This glass museum designed by Jean Nouvel is located on the site of a Roman mansion discovered accidentally in the late 1950s. The remains of this huge villa are impressive and include murals dating back to the 1st century. 

Built in La Cité, this cathedral was the main cathedral in Périgueux until the mid 17th century.

These gardens are home to the remaining elements of the vast Roman amphitheatre which housed over 20,000 people in the 1st and 2nd centuries.

This imposing tower in old Périgueux reached nearly 90 feet in height when it was built in the 2nd century. 

Today there are only a few remaining elements of the old Roman town which was located at Périgueux.

This Roman Catholic cathedral in the heart of Périgueux's old town is named after the first bishop of Périgueux.
