History
The church of Tornac was a Benedictine priory, of ancient foundation. The present building is thought to have been reconstructed in the 12th century and consecrated by pope Gelasius II in 1118. The single nave comprises two bays and terminates in a semi-circular apse. Externally, this apse is ornamented with a cornice formed of arcatures and a sawtooth band.
