The massive fortified Cathedral of Saint-Étienne dating from the 13th century has been damaged and reconstructed numerous times.
The town of Saint-Brieuc has some pleasant parks and gardens, and very good shopping in Rue Fardel and Rue Quinquaine, around the cathedral. The old city has attractive, well preserved streets and picturesque old houses. There is a ruined 14th-century tower that dominates the Gouët estuary mouth, with views of the fishing port from the ravine above.
