Moissac Abbey

Moissac is known for its grandiose cloister. It has twenty capitals on two sides and eighteen on each of the other two, making a total of seventy-six. The decoration of the capitals combines floral and historiated motifs, many of them with detailed inscriptions.

The present church was built in the 15th century, with later modifications and restorations. At the foot of the church is the bell tower, erected on a square-shaped narthex with an upper floor, probably dating from the 12th century.

Built in the 15th century, the Saint-Julien de Brioude church in Goudourville is such a source of pride for the inhabitants of the region, that they call it the “Sistine Chapel of Tarn et Garonne". Redecorated in the nineteenth century, the church has a five-arched bell tower that rises above the west facade, while the vaults illustrate the creation of the world by God in the form of two huge paintings, signed JG Maury.

The Church of Saint-Clair of Saint-Porquier, Occitania was built in the sixteenth century, on the foundations of an older, eleventh century building that was ruined during the Hundred Years War. The building is of Southern Gothic style. It consists of a nave that opens on a three sided choir, flanked with side chapels. An octagonal bell-tower is flanked by a staircase turret. The interior was painted in the late nineteenth century.
