The most beautiful religious buildings Midi-Pyrénées

The church Notre-Dame du Taur has been erected at the end of the Middle Ages, on the location where the grave of Saint Saturnin lies. It is easily spotted on the right from the place du Capitole to the Basilica of Saint-Sernin. You must observe the representation of the martyrdom of Saint Saturnin, near the portal. We will also note the church's triangular coat and its wall wall.

The pleasure of an easy hike to the Hermitage may well seduce the hikers, when the edges of the Roach will be crowded. It is by a two-kilometer wooded trail that you will have access to the hermitage of Notre-Dame-de-Laval, a site occupied since prehistory, at the time Gallo-Roman. A préromane chapel, then rebuilt throughout the centuries, from the th to the th centuries. Ideal for walkers who enjoy during the gentle ascent the discovery of the shaded coomb, the scents of the garrigue, the cultures of the plateau and the well deserved rest at the sanctuary.

In the heart of a forest of holm oaks, perched on a rocky spur overlooking the Aspres massif, this small church was built at the end of the 11th century by local peasants. The richness of the interior of the priory is dazzling. The capitals and the Romanesque sculptures in pink marble from Villefranche-de-Conflent illustrate the religious art of the 10th and 12th centuries in the Roussillon region. The details abound: stylized mythological animals, griffins, lions, snakes, eagles with spread wings and a whole flora, roses and acanthus leaves. Particularly remarkable, the tribune is considered to be the finest example of Romanesque sculpture in the Catalan region. The marble of the Conflent, contributes to magnify this unsigned masterpiece realized around 1150. It divides the nave in two parts, one reserved for the canons, the other accessible to the faithful. The platform with its incomplete balustrade housed the choir. A botanical garden has been laid out around the priory on about fifty hectares, inviting you to discover its scents. The surroundings of Serrabona are also a magical place for beautiful walks in the heart of the wild Aspres: forests, meadows, small streams... This enchanting setting will seduce nature lovers and above all you will find a calm and bucolic atmosphere opposite the bustle of the coast. A visit to Serrabona is the perfect excursion for a family afternoon. Serrabona leaves no one indifferent!

Its steeple with the square tower shapes stands above the monumental portal of entry: on the little square dedicated to him, the church of Notre-Dame which used to defend the village lost nothing of its superb. Built in the th century, it housed an arms room and, over time, the kings of the Baroque, the Ferrere brothers, illuminated its interior by providing their mastery of foil and sculpture. A magnificent reissue that bears their feet and represents the assumption of the Virgin is still visible, and it was during its installation in the th century that the name of Sainte-Catherine church was abandoned for its current patronymic. A th-century Pietà is still there and a Roman chevet. A marvel to see for its exterior sobriety and the golden exuberance of its furnishings.

After suffering from years and conflicts, the church's beautiful Baroque façade was restored in 1984, revealing its beauty to visitors. Inside, one can observe the presence of pieces inscribed as Historic Furniture such as the 19th century baptismal font and the great organ built in 1856 by Aristide Cavaillé-Colls. Surprisingly, the church's bell tower rests on a former watchtower, giving it a rarely seen silhouette.

Remains of the Chapelle des Pénitents Bleus in Marseillan in 1596, which the brotherhood was dissolved around 1720.
