Bayonne Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church in Bayonne, France, and the seat of the Bishops of Bayonne, Lescar, and Oloron. Built in the Gothic tradition on the site of a Romanesque cathedral destroyed by fires in 1258 and 1310, it was begun in the 13th century and largely completed at the start of the 17th, with its two spires finished in the 19th. It forms part of the UNESCO-listed Routes of Santiago de Compostela in France.
