BOTELHO ADELINO

Saint-Lazare Cathedral is a famous 12th-century Romanesque cathedral in Autun, France. Built to house the relics of Saint Lazarus, it became an important pilgrimage site. The cathedral is best known for its remarkable sculptures by Gislebertus, especially the Last Judgment above the main entrance, as well as its Gothic spire and richly decorated interior. It is considered one of the greatest examples of medieval Burgundian architecture.
