Moissac Abbey, Benedictine abbey in Moissac, France.
The monumental Saint-Pierre church presents large Romanesque portals decorated with detailed sculptures and narrative reliefs across its stone surfaces.
The monastery, established in the 7th century under Bishop Saint Didier of Cahors, expanded its influence after joining the Cluniac order in the 11th century.
The cloister contains 76 capitals with carved biblical stories and religious figures, making it a center of medieval artistic expression and manuscript production.
The abbey complex includes a visitor center, the Centre of Romanesque Art Marcel Durliat, which offers resources about Romanesque architecture and illuminated manuscripts.
The tympanum above the southern entrance displays an intricate apocalyptic vision with Christ enthroned among celestial beings and symbolic creatures.
