Yes, Avignon Cathedral is worth visiting. This beautiful Roman Catholic church features impressive Romanesque architecture dating back to the 12th century and is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You can explore the interiors, and sometimes you'll catch an organ recital or exhibition.

Yes, you can usually take photos at Avignon Cathedral, but it’s best to look out for signs detailing photo restrictions. It’s also best to avoid bringing bulky equipment—such as tripods—and to avoid flash photography. If taking photos, be respectful of others around you as it’s a place of worship.
