Sion Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Notre-Dame du Glarier, dominates the old town of Sion with its striking twin towers. As you approach, the cathedral's Gothic facade and rose window draw the eye. Inside, the nave is light and airy, with stained glass windows casting colorful patterns. The cathedral is a living place of worship, so visitors may encounter locals attending mass or prayer. Its location in the heart of the old town makes it an ideal starting point for exploring Sion's medieval streets, with cafes and shops nearby.
