Agde is a
commune in the
Hérault department in
Southern France. It is the
Mediterranean port of the
Canal du Midi. Agde is known for the distinctive black
basalt used in local buildings such as the
cathedral of Saint Stephen, built in the 12th century to replace a 9th-century Carolingian edifice built on the foundations of a fifth-century
Roman church. Bishop Guillaume fortified the cathedral’s precincts and provided it with a 35-metre
donjon (keep). The Romanesque
cloister of the cathedral was demolished in 1857.
