Church of Saint-Cirgues

Associations:Home/Built heritage/Church of Saint-Cirgues
Romanesque church, with a facade added in the XNUMXth century, of sober beauty, has a very beautiful door, a gallery and in one of the side chapels you can see a capital dating from the High Middle Ages, stained glass windows from the modillions.

Description

Modillions: these are a variety of corbels (supporting stones). They are found all along the cornice which runs around the apse. Literally, the chevet designates the location where the head of Christ rested on the cross. Many are carved from volcanic stone. These corbels are at the origin of many debates as to what exactly they represent: Romanesque bestiary, signs of the zodiac, etc.
