Only the chancel of the Church of Saint Peter of Abragão maintains the Romanesque style. In 1105 the existence of "Sancto Petro de Auregam" was already documented. The 13th century Church is the result of an initiative by Princess Mafalda, daughter of King Sancho I and granddaughter of King Afonso Henriques. The exterior resembles the Romanesque design of the Monastery of Paço de Sousa due to its Visigoth and Mozarabe-influenced frieze [6th-8th centuries]. Inside, the elements that comprise the cross arch bear resemblance to the Romanesque art of the Baixo Tâmega, namely with the main portal of the Monastery of Travanca in Amarante. Archaeological findings in 2006 concluded that the main portal of Abragão, no longer in existence, would have been very similar to the one in the Church of Saint Genesius of Boehle. The main façade and nave underwent reconstruction works in the second half of the 17th century. From the same period is the Mannerist altarpiece with paintings of Saint Andrew, Saint Mary Magdalene, Saint James and Saint Martha.

The church of Saint Peter is a Romanesque church first mentioned in 1020. In the 14th century, a Gothic reconstruction was carried out. The façade was built in 1578, with a large porthole that gives light to the entire nave. During the Spanish Civil War, the church suffered considerable destruction and had to be rebuilt between 1941 and 1948. It was in this church that Salvador Dalí was baptised and received his First Communion, and where his funeral took place.

This Romanesque church was built in the 11th and 12th centuries, then altered in the 16th and 17th centuries. It was the subject of a double Auvergne and Berrichone influence. It also has some important furniture: crossroads cross from the end of the 14th century, Sainte-Barbe in stone from the 15th century, Pieta in stone from the 15th century, and a magnificent Saint Madeleine from the end of the 15th century.

The church is located in the French department of Aveyron, in the town of Nant. The town of Nant is located at the confluence of two rivers, the Dourbie and the Durzon, between Grands Causses and CÈvennes. Gallia Christiana reports the legend making the monastery of Saint-Pierre was a creation of Saint Amand, Bishop of Maastricht, in the kingdom of Austrasia, around 669. The monastery would have been destroyed a century later by the Saracens. The first text quoting the Church of Saint-Pierre dates from February 11, 926. Bernard, viscount of Rouergue, and his wife, Udalgarde, give the abbey of Vabres all the goods they have in Nant, including a statue of Saint Peter, to build a monastery dedicated to Saint Peter of Rome. The monastery of Nant received numerous donations from the counts of Toulouse and Rouergue during the 11th century. In 961, Raymond I, count of Rouergue, bequeathed property to the priory. The Bishop of Lodêve, Fulcrand, donated his share in the family chateau of Roquefeuil in 988. In the 11th century, the Saint-Victor abbey in Marseille led a policy of expansion in the southern Rourgue. In 1082, ÈvÍque de Rodez submited the Saint-Amans de Rodez abbey and the Vabres abbey, with their outbuildings, to Saint-Victor abbey.

The roof and part of the walls of the Church of Saint Photeini in Roussochoria collapsed during the 2021 Arkalochori earthquake.

The church of Saint Pierre de Clages is mentioned for the first time in 1153, but it is thought that a church existed in the first half of the 11th century. The church was last restored in the 1960s. It is a very well preserved Romanesque monument.

The first mention of the church of Beausaint dates back to the 15th century. The plan includes a west tower, a nave, a choir completed by three sections, and two sacristies to the north. The furnishing of the church was completed in 1893. It was renovated in 2013: painting and renovation of the stained glass windows.

On the outside, the massive old tower painted white catches the eye with its surprising wooden gallery and above all a loggia in Louis XIV style, supported by three figures. Three times a year, the hunt with holy relics was displayed for the faithful in this loggia.
