The ultimate symbol of the might of the medieval Counts of Anjou, City’s Castle as we see it was built in 1231.

Apocalypse Tapestry

In the 1370s, Louis I, the Duke of Anjou commissioned artist Jean Bondol to make the preliminary sketches for what would become the immense tapestry that is presented inside the castle.

Musee Jean-Lurçat

The 12th-century Hôpital Saint-Jean is a phenomenal piece of Angevin gothic design, and its impressive how much of it is still here.

Musée des Beaux-Arts

Those in the known rate Anger’ fine arts museum, situated in the renaissance Logis Barrault, as one of the top regional museums in France.

City’s Cathedral

Constructed in the 13th century but frequently altered down the years, the cathedral is a bit of a mish-mash of styles, but it can be satisfying to work out which part of the church was built when.
