It was the seat of the Archbishop of Narbonne until the Archbishopric was merged into the Diocese of Carcassonne under the Concordat of 1801. (The title, however, passed to the Archbishop of Toulouse.) The church was declared a minor basilica in 1886. It is now a co-cathedral of the Diocese of Carcassonne and Narbonne, as it has been since 2006.[1]
The building, begun in 1272, is noted for being unfinished. [2]
