Historique
Autrefois, Canac était le centre d'une paroisse qui englobait celle de Campagnac. Les deux églises constituaient un prieuré uni à celui de Perse, à Espalion, et dépendant de Conques. L'édifice primitif du 11e siècle est représenté par l'abside pentagonale, l'absidiole nord (celle du sud est d'époque gothique) et le transept avec sa coupole à huit pans, son clocher et le croisillon nord. Nef du 12e siècle dont l'axe est légèrement dévié par rapport au choeur du 11e siècle, et conservant des chapiteaux romans. Au 14e siècle, ajout de chapelles latérales sur la dernière travée de la nef.

History
Formerly, Canac was the centre of a parish which encompassed that of Campagnac. The two churches constituted a priory united to that of Perse, at Espalion, and dependent on Conques. The primitive 11th-century building is represented by the pentagonal apse, the northern absidiole (the southern one is of Gothic period) and the transept with its eight-sided dome, its bell tower and the northern transept arm. Nave of the 12th century whose axis is slightly deflected with respect to the 11th-century choir, and preserving Romanesque capitals. In the 14th century, addition of lateral chapels on the last bay of the nave.
