À propos
As regards the Roman church reconstructed over the 12th century, only the cupola of the south transept has survived. The reconstruction undertaken in the 15th century was interrupted by the wars of religion and the damage they wrought to the nave; the labors resumed in the 17th century. The edifice presents the strange silhouette of an unfinished Gothic construction site. Magnificent sculpted arching on the entrance door.
