The Saint-Trophime Primatial Catholic Church is a stunning architectural gem, with construction dating back to the 12th century. While some of the tapestries may appear faded, this only adds to the church's charm and historical allure. A notable feature is the vast collection of relics of saints, securely locked away behind metal bars in a church alcove, offering a glimpse into the religious significance of the site. Like many churches in France, Saint-Trophime is adorned with numerous statues and paintings depicting standard components of Christianity, contributing to its beauty and spiritual atmosphere. Overall, a very beautiful and enriching visit for those interested in history and...

La catedral de Trófimo es un edificio románico de la época carolingia de medianas proporciones, que fue construido entre los siglos XI y XII sobre el emplazamiento de una basílica del siglo V dedicada a san Esteban. Posteriormente se le añadieron entre los siglos XIV y XV las capillas laterales y un ábside. El campanario, en estilo lombardo y formado por tres secciones, fue añadido en el XII, mientras que el crucero fue modificado durante el siglo XVII. En este templo tenía lugar en la Alta Edad Media, las coronaciones de los soberanos de Arlés, como la que tuvo lugar en el año 1178 con el emperador del Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico, Federico I Barbarroja. Posteriormente la catedral se convirtió en iglesia parroquial en el 1801 tras trasladarse el obispado a Aix-en-Provence; después será transformada en basílica menor en el año 1882 por el papa León XIII. Destaca su extraordinaria portada románica, que nos describe escenas del Juicio Final, en la mitad superior de la portada aludiendo a la Parusía o segunda venida de Cristo para juzgar a vivos y muertos. En el tímpano aparece un Pantocrátor con la figura monumental de Cristo, rodeado de los símbolos de los cuatro evangelistas. Bajo él y sobre la puerta, se encuentra los 12 apóstoles como jueces. A grandes rasgos, a los lados, entre columnillas y pilares apoyados en leones estilóforos, se alinean las representaciones escultóricas de varios santos. Por un lateral desde la plaza se puede acceder a través de un pórtico al lado del Palacio Arzobispal, al magnífico claustro.

San Trófimo fue un gentil nacido en Éfeso que acompañó a san Pablo en su tercer viaje. Una leyenda cuenta que Trófimo, tras pasar por Roma, llegó a Arlés en el año 46. Sin embargo, ciento cincuenta años después san Gregorio de Tours dijo que éste era una de los siete apóstoles de la Galia de mediados del siglo III, quienes fueron enviados desde Roma para evangelizar aquellas tierras. Trófimo está considerado como el primer obispo de Arlés, no conociéndose nada más de...

The Primatial Basilica of Saint-Trophime (Basilique primatiale Saint-Trophime) is a renowned Roman Catholic church located in Arles, southern France. Constructed between the 12th and 15th centuries, it stands as a significant example of Romanesque architecture in Provence. 

Originally serving as the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Arles, Saint-Trophime was designated a primatial church, reflecting its ecclesiastical prominence in the region. Following the Concordat of 1801, the archdiocese merged with that of Aix-en-Provence, and the church was reclassified as a parish church. In 1882, Pope Leo XIII elevated it to the status of a...
