Built originally during the 12th century, Saint Amans
church was entirely rebuilt between 1758 to 1761 using materials recovered from the ancient
building. The exterior is in the Baroque style, but the interior as kept the purity of the
Roman style. The dome was decorated in the 18th century by Salinier. The
tapestries from the 6th century hanging in the choir represent the
miracles of Saint Amans. The church houses a 15th century pièta,
16th century statue of the Trinity and a relinquary jewel box in Limoges
enamel. |
