CATHEDRAL OF IMMACULATE CONCEPTION
Read moreThe portal with sculpted wooden wings of this ancient cathedral, listed as Historical Monument, was made round 1710 by Jacques Dolle. The square bell tower of the 12th century is an ancient watchtower. The choir of the 12th century has also a unique feature in the world: the apse stops vertically because of the presence of the walls at the time of construction. Do not miss the very beautiful altarpiece of Brea, the Virgin of Mercy, or the Virgin of the Rosary. At its right, a sixteen century statue of Christ, carved in the trunk of a lime tree.

CHAPEL OF THE HOLY SEPULCHRE OR BLUE PENITENTS
Read moreOn the front, on the lower cornice of the triangular pediment mounted by the architect Antoine Spinelli, is inscribed Societas sanctissimi Sepulcri, which can be translated as Société du Très-Saint-Sépulcre, the official name of the Blue Penitents. It is to this brotherhood founded in 1431 that this building dedicated today to the Italian Catholic Mission belongs. Its construction has continued through the centuries: the nave in the 15th century, the choir with its beautiful baroque decoration in the 18th century and the last finishing touches in the 19th century. Inside, the decoration comes from various origins. The paintings are dated from different periods while the ceilings are from the 19th century.
