context_page_description: Carpentras Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church and former cathedral in Carpentras, Provence, France.
  The church was built in the 15th century by the order of Benedict XIII. The site used to be a Roman cathedral. Construction started in 1409 and continued for 150 years, with seven different architects working on the building. The main entrance was built in 1512–1514, then modified a hundred years later, and then modified again in 2000–2002. The tower was built in early 20th century. The cathedral building is a national monument of France.
  Until the 19th century Carpentras Cathedral was the seat of the bishops of Carpentras, to one of whom, Saint Siffredus, it is dedicated. However, the diocese was abolished in the Concordat of 1801 and added to the Diocese of Avignon; the cathedral became a church.
  Nicolas Saboly, a Provençal poet and composer, served as maître de chapelle of the cathedral in 1639–1643. Louis Archimbaud served as organist of the cathedral from 1727 to 1789.
