The origins of Cathedra Saint Saveur are seen both in legend and in history. It was built on a former temple of Apollo. Its location on the old Aurelian road makes it a bridge between the Roman world and the Christian world of Aix. The construction of the cathedral evolved between the fifth and eighteenth century.

The cathedral was classified as an historical monument in 1840. Inside, the cathedral unites three naves of different styles: Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque
