Saint Aventin Church

The Romanesque Church Saint-Aventin dates from the 11th or 12th century, has two bell towers, a porch decorated with sculptures, and capitals showing scenes of the life and martyrdom of saint Aventin.
The exterior walls have incorporated stone from previous buildings that reuse of stelae and pagan altars dedicated to Pyrenean gods, including Abellio and Aherbelst. Inside the church are monumental paintings, a baptismal font and a wrought iron altar. The Church has been classified historical monument since 1840. [4]
