Comment
The Cathédrale Saint-Léonce de Fréjus is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in the historic center of Fréjus, in the Var department of France. It has been classified as a historic monument since 1862. Originally a medieval building, it is the result of several periods:- 5th-century Paleo-Christian baptistery (Merovingian art), surrounded by an octagonal hall with canted sides and apsidioles; the eight corner columns are Corinthian (reused from a Roman building); opening onto an octagonal first floor.
- Carved walnut door leaves dating from 1530, topped by cross-headed windows.
- Multi-storey cloister with 13th-century wooden roof frame, interspersed with multiple small panels painted by the monks.
- 13th-century bell tower above the narthex
The cathedral was part of the Episcopal City of Fréjus.
