History

The old cemetery is delimited by the church (west façade), the south curtain of the ramparts, the municipal building extended by a boundary wall to the west and, to the north, by a house. On these three sides, there remain enfeus whose toric mouluring with blunt beak indicates the 14th century. The south-west angle, at the junction of the ramparts and the municipal building, retains the start of a diagonal arch resting on a capital decorated with chevrons or broken sticks, disappearing partly under mortar. This is an indication that there existed, probably around the entire perimeter, a covered gallery forming a cloister. The corbels still visible, aligned along the rampart, then supported the wallplate of the roof structure. The municipal building borders the wall to the west. It is raised one storey above ground floor and presents, near the angle of the rampart, the pointed arch of an enfeu, moulded with a roll moulding with blunt forward beak.
