[FR] La seconde cathédrale apparaît dans les textes en 920 sous le nom de Sainte Cécile, la patronne des musiciens. Un ensemble épiscopal regroupe à cette époque, la cathédrale, mais aussi un baptistère et une chapelle dédiée à Saint-Pierre. De cette époque subsistent quelques arches de l'ancien cloître, plusieurs fois déplacées après être restées longtemps dans le parc Rochegude et placé dans les années 2010 entre la cathédrale et le quartier du Castelviel.
