Description:
|
Exterior detail: West Facade. West window and south-west tower. Building dates between 1096 and 1215. Sculptures on the West facade were destroyed c. 1793. External renovation (1840-1859) followed, which includes replacement of the Last Judgment in the tympanum (re-sculpted by PASCAL, 1857). The church sits at the top of a hillside village which is a hugely popular tourist destination.
