An,iens Cathedral One of
The Finest i'm Europe

The most conspicuous building in
Amiens is its cathedral, one of the
most magnificent in Europe, and per-
haps the finest monument of Gothic ar
chitecture in France. Erected on the
plans of Robert de Luzarche, chiefly
between 1920 and 1888, it consists of
nave nearly 14o feet in height, with
aisles and lateral chapels, a transept
with aisles, and choir ending in an
apse surrounded by chapels.
The total length is 469 feet, the
breadth 216 feet. The facade, which is
fanked by two square towers without
spires, has three portals decorated
with profusion of statuary, the CEN
trail portal having a remarkable statue
of Christ of the thirteenth century;
they are surmounted by two galleries,
the upper one containing twenty two
statues of the kings Of judah in its ar
cades, and by a fine rose window. A
slender spire rises above the crossing.
The southern portal is remarkable for
figure of the Virgin and other stat
uary.
In the INTERIOR which contains beau
tifully carved stalls, a choir screen in
the f1amboyant style, and many other
works of art, the most striking feat
ures are the height of the nave and
the vaulting.
The chief of the other churches of
Amiens is aint-Remy, with the tomb
Of Robert de Lannay, viceroy of Ma
pies.
Other buildings of note are the
Hotel de Vile, built by Henry ", in
which the Peace of Amiens was signed
(1802); the Palais de Justice, the
Hotel-Dieu, or general hospital, the
museum of art and antiquities (Musee
de Picardie), and the Bibliotheque
Communale, handsome edifice, with
peristyle of Doric columns, and a
library of nearly 100000 volumes and
nearly 600 manuscripts.
Amiens has various learned socie-
ties, and is literary centre IF great
Importance. There is preparatory
school of medicine and pharmacy, d
! theological seminary, school of
music and a school of ironworking
and woodworking. Amiens was Of con-
siderable. Importance as early as the
twelfth century, and in the sixteenth
century it became one of the largest
centres of the textile industry in
France. At present the chief manu-
factures are linen, woollens, silk, vel
vet and shoes. 1t is the seat of a
bishop and of court of appeals.
Amiens was anciently known as Sa-
marobriva, and was the capital of the
Gallo Ambiany, from whom it prob
ably derives it's name. Caesar included
it in Gallia Belgica, and it became a
Roman stronghold.
