À propos
The Saint-Jean underground church was dug into the rock probably at the beginning of the twelth century, following a Roman layout. It is unique in Europe, being of exceptionnal proportions, 17 meters high and having a reliquary, a cross-shaped pit for relics, an impressive gallery at 17 meters above floor level and a necropolis containing about one 170 graves makes it well worth a visit.
