As well as the fancy brick work (see yesterday’s post) the back of this church caught my eye yesterday. It is three storeys high and with those tall, slender windows, quite reminded me of the cathedral in Albi, in the Languedoc region in the south of France. (Albi is also home to the Toulouse-Lautrec museum.) The cathedral is apparently the largest brick building in the world, and on the outside looks like a fortress – a result of the Albigensian Crusades in the 13th century. Inside it is stunningly decorated with frescoes on all walls. It’s really nice to be reminded of Albi and the trip I took fifteen years ago.
