A must-see for your visit to Pamiers! Built in the 12th century at the foot of the now-destroyed castle, the church of St-Jean Baptiste and St-Jean l'Evangéliste, which became Notre Dame du Mercadal in the 15th century, was the town's first church, and all that remains of the 12th-century building is the Romanesque portal adorned with capitals depicting biblical scenes. In the 14th century, the Mercadal church was enlarged. The superb bell tower, inspired by the Jacobin bell tower in Toulouse, was built at this time. The Hundred Years' War, the Navarre War of Succession and local conflicts led to the looting and destruction of the cathedral. Reconstruction work began around 1662, but was halted due to a lack of funds. It resumed in 1685. The church was consecrated on 9 January 1689. The single nave building is simple and majestic. The interior woodwork, paintings and silverware give it a prestigious character. In 1777, the church was fitted with a large organ from the Daurade church in Toulouse, housed in a remarkable 18th-century case that has been listed as a Monument Historique. Major work was carried out on the bell tower and roof between 1833 and 1875. Saint-Antonin Cathedral was listed as a Historic Monument on 9 August 1906.

In 1903, the Mirepoix-Chalabre-Lavelnet line made it possible to link the industrial valley of the Hers to the national railway network via Bram or Pamiers. Up to seven trains run every day. The Compagnie des Chemins de Fer du Midi is responsible for the operation of the passenger, mail and goods transport line: raw materials (fir wood), manufactured products (textile and horn comb). More than two hundred factories and thousands of workers thus make the local economy of draperies, headgear, combs and shoes work. From 1945, the development of road transport and deindustrialization gradually reduce the use of the track. A diesel lessor then replaces the steam train. In 1973, the train whistled one last time on the line. History of a railroad become a hiking trail ...

The Cascades produced a rare and very fragile phenomenon: a tufiére 30 meters high. True natural geological curiosity, the tufiére or petrifying waterfall is formed of pulverulent and friable limestone tuff of white to beige color. The water of the sources of the Turasse being particularly calcareous, the tufa is deposited on the mosses and the pieces of wood in the form of a crust. The disposition of these vegetable debris by fermentation gives in part to the rock its porous texture reminding that of the sponge.
