The most beautiful churches cathedrals basilicas and chapels Aquitaine

St. Gallen Church is one of the oldest religious foundations in Bordeaux. The texts mention, from the th century, the existence of a women's convent founded by Dagobert I. His son, Sigebert, would have deposited in the altar a relic of St. Eulalia, a young Spanish martyr of the third century. St. Gallen Church, thanks to numerous construction and restoration campaigns, has become a true open book on the history of Bordeaux art over the centuries: all ages and styles blend in, thus making its originality and richness. Its fence grids date back to the th century. It has a very nice stand and many paintings.

Built in the th century instead of a fortified primitive church, the Église church of Specious is in Neo-Gothic style. Easily recognisable with its high steeple-porch, a real lighthouse of the canton, the church consists of a long central vessel of five spans completed by a polygonal apse.

It is one of the few Cluniac sites in the department, along with the Abbey of Saint-Maurin. Its construction began in the middle of the 11th century and it took nearly a century before the priory was built in its entirety. The Romanesque architecture is perfectly preserved. Pay attention to the modillions on the façade and the capitals of the interior columns. The church was registered on the list of historical monuments in 1846. In 2018, the façade of the building was refreshed.
