Apart from such considerations, the wall-paintings in the cathedral of Albi have accumulated such interest from time that no reason would excuse their removal. This unique church was mainly built at the close of the thirteenth century, together with the Archbishop's palace, with which it was connected in a military sense by outworks.
Ely is one, Cologne is another, but how many people have looked right up at Durham as at a cliff from that gorge below, or how many have seen the height of Albi from the Tarn?
The naves, the north and south transept portals, and the choir belong to the thirteenth century, the north tower to the fifteenth, and the magnificent jube, or screen, which runs round the choir, is evidently sixteenth century style, being an example of that Renaissance employment of Gothic details, of which we find such glorious counterparts at Rouen and Albi.
All passed on their way, and the Tarn is no redder now for the torrents of blood that flowed into it. Notwithstanding that the name Albigenses was given after the council of Lombers to the new Manichaeans, Albi was less identified with the great religious and political struggle of Southern Gaul in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries than were Castres and other neighbouring towns.
"Hi, Rosie!" called Julie Albi, who lived next door. "C'm'out and play after supper?" "Next door" was the right way to say it.

"Utriusque sexus indigenae albi veluti nostrates, praeter eos qui sub sole versantur." "Los Indios de Paria son BLANCOS y rubios." Columb. cap. 71.
Gregory, "I had bidden King Chilperic adieu and had withdrawn conversing with the bishop of Albi. Thirty years were yet to pass before the curtain falls on the acts of the rival queens, their sons and grandsons, but the heart revolts at the details of the wars and lusts of these savage potentates.
The improvement is undoubted, but so is the absolute lack of interest and charm; at least, to those who are outside of the persiennes so uniformly closed against the summer sun. Albi, the veritable historic Albi, lies almost hidden upon a slope that leads down to the Tarn.
The town of Albi gave them their name of Albigenses, and Toulouse was the chief centre of their influence. In 1119 Calixtus II condemned the heresy at its centre in Toulouse. In 1139, at the second Lateran Council, Innocent II called upon the secular power for the first time to assist in expelling from the Church those who professed heretical opinions.
Triginta capitum fœtus enixa jacebat, Alba, solo recubans, albi circum ubera nati. Whilst discovery of the misgovernment of others led to his own power, it was wise to inquire, it was safe to publish: there was then no delicacy; there was then no danger.
