History

Construction of the 14th century characteristic of southern Gothic architecture propagated by mendicant orders. Building with a large single nave bordered by lateral chapels covered with rib vaults. In the 17th century, the collapse of the choir vaults led to major works, notably the building of a new sanctuary to the west and the construction of a new façade to the east. The vaulting of the chevet bears the date 1780. In the 19th century, the architect Vignol was entrusted with the vaulting of the nave, replacing the roof structure. The building is constructed of river pebbles for the main structure and dressed granite for the buttress walls that separate the chapels, the corner quoins and the main façade. The 14th century bell tower belongs to the tradition of tall Catalan Romanesque towers.
