The name "Lady of Auzils" was given in 1223, when the monks of Boulboune, in Ariège, bought the priory. The current chapel seems to have been built in 1635. Since then, it has been renovated and consolidated many times. The choir of the Church is built above the Saint-Salvaire cave.
This is a building with an elongated plan in Provenàal type. Protruding buttresses punctuate the gutter walls.
Built in the 14th century, this church is located in the center of the village, at the foot of the Barberousse Tower, as one of the oldest buildings in the town. The church retains a gigantic votive offer representing the most important shipwreck in the village of Gruissan.
This cathedral is a Gothic style building built in 1272 in the heart of the city of Narbonne. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that it remains incomplete. The construction of the cathedral was one of the most ambitious projects in the kingdom of France in the 13th century.
The Cistercian Abbey of Sainte-Marie de Fontfroide dates back to the 11th century. The monastery became a key centre in the fight against Cathar doctrine, and Pope Innocent III appointed two legates chosen from among the abbey's members to defend Catholic orthodoxy against heresy.
