Enjoy this Romanesque church and the view over the Garonne plain
This charming Romanesque church dates from the 21st century and was once surrounded by ramparts, some remains of which still survive. In front of the church, the site of a Gallo-Roman necropolis has been uncovered, featuring numerous cinerary urns made of St Béat marble.
Others can be seen built directly into the church’s masonry. From the outside, you can admire the entrance door with its old ironwork and the Christogram on the tympanum.
If you are lucky enough to be able to go inside, take in the semi-circular vaulted apse and the remarkable set of Romanesque-style frescoes painted on the apse, probably dating from the late 15th or early 16th century.
