It is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and Saint Reparata. Classed as a monument historique since 1906. The former church of Saint Reparata was elevated to cathedral in 1590, but then judged to be too small and rebuilt. A campanile was built between 1731 and 1757. Between 1825 and 1830 a Baroque revival fa\u00E7ade replaced the original west front. Between 1900 and 1903 an apse was added on either side of the choir. The exterior dome has polychrome tiles.
