Beauvais rewards visitors who focus on the historic core around the cathedral. The quarter within a few minutes' walk of the Cathédrale Saint-Pierre contains most of the city's worthwhile sights: the cathedral itself, the adjacent Basse Oeuvre (an early medieval church preserved inside the cathedral precinct), the astronomical clock, the Bishop's Palace housing the Departmental Museum, and the Square Jeanne Hachette with its famous statue. For tapestry enthusiasts, the Galerie Nationale de la Tapisserie sits immediately south of the cathedral.
