Travel Guide Saint-Sever

Find an accommodation
Saint-Sever owes its name to Severus, sent by the Pope to evangelize Novempopulania, one of the provinces of Aquitaine. A martyrium was built over his tomb, then a first church at the end of the 10th century, enlarged in the 11th century with seven staggered apses. The town's golden age came in the 11th and 12th centuries, when the abbey church was rebuilt. In the scriptorium of the Benedictine abbey was written a Beatus, a rare illustrated manuscript from the 11th century, which is a commentary on theApocalypse of St. John tracing the end of time before the Last Judgment. Saint-Sever is one of France's oldest bullfighting towns.
