Primitive church built on the foundations of one of the aliases of the Gallo-Roman villa in Taron-Sadirac-Viellenave
The church of L'Assomption, like the town, has passed through history with many changes over the centuries. Built on the foundations of one of the wings of the Gallo-Roman villa, the primitive church dates back to the 11th century. In the 12th century, a chapel was added to the south, which became the tower tower. It was essentially in the 15th and 16th centuries that it underwent the most transformations, the nave and vaults were raised, the choir was rebuilt with a three-sided apse and two chapels in the south and north were added. The last operations took place in the 18th century with a major restoration and elevation project (up to 44 metres) of the tower tower and the addition of a porch to the west. Today, the northern chapel houses the remains of the mosaics found during the archaeological excavations of the original villa. The latter was built in the 1st century AD but was redesigned in the 5th century, the date of manufacture of these mosaics with essentially vegetable motifs. They are the only remains of this ancient building, which has now completely disappeared in the redesign of the various plots.
