Abbey Church of Saint-Cesaire
The construction of a third abbey church in Maurs-la-Jolie was undertaken at the end of the 14th century after two destructions in the 11th and 12th centuries. The choir dates from the beginning of the 15th century (date 1406 on one of the stained glass windows), as does the western portal.
About this building
This church represents the type of the southern-style speech church of the 15th century. The building consists of a nave with three rib-vaulted bays. The choir is pentagonal. Under the bell tower is a sort of narthex with a ribbed vault, the arches of which rest on human-faced bases.
