Sarlat la Caneda or simply Sarlat, is a commune in the Dordogne department
Sarlat la Caneda or simply Sarlat, is a commune in the Dordogne department in Aquitaine in southwestern France.The town of Sarlat is in a region known in France as the Perigord Noir (the Black Perigord, as opposed to the Green Perigord, the White Perigord, and the Purple Perigord).Sarlat is a medieval town that developed around a large Benedictine abbey of Carolingian origin. The medieval Sarlat Cathedral is dedicated to Saint Sacerdos.Because modern history has largely passed it by, Sarlat has remained preserved and one of the towns most representative of 14th century France. It owes its current status on Frances Tentative List for future nomination as a UNESCO World Heritage site to the enthusiasm of writer, resistance fighter and politician AndreMalraux, who, as Minister of Culture (1960 1969), restored the town and many other sites of historic significance throughout France. The centre of the old town consists of impeccably restored stone buildings and is largely car-free

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Sarlat, a medieval town nestled in the heart of southwestern France. Known as "Sarlat la Caneda" or simply "Sarlat" this commune is located in the Dordogne department and belongs to the picturesque region known as Perigord Noir. Steeped in history, Sarlat developed around a magnificent Benedictine abbey with origins dating back to the Carolingian era. The town's medieval cathedral, dedicated to Saint Sacerdos, stands as a testament to its rich heritage. What sets Sarlat apart is its remarkable preservation over time. While modernity has swept through other towns, Sarlat remains an enchanting window into 14th century France. This exceptional state of preservation has earned it recognition on France's Tentative List for future nomination as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The credit for this restoration and preservation goes to Andre Malraux, a celebrated writer, resistance fighter, and politician who served as Minister of Culture from 1960 to 1969. His passion for historic sites led him to restore not only Sarlat but also numerous other significant landmarks throughout France. As you gaze upon this image captured by Salvator Barki, you are transported into the heart of old-town Sarlat. Impeccably restored stone buildings line car-free streets while ancient windows frame views of French culture against a backdrop of winter skies and leafless trees. This print serves as both a visual delight and an invitation to explore one of France's most treasured destinations brimming with history and architectural wonders.
