Moissac, Medieval abbey town in Tarn-et-Garonne, France
Moissac is a town in Tarn-et-Garonne situated where the Garonne and Tarn rivers meet. A network of waterways shapes the landscape, with the Canal de Garonne cutting through the area.
The town grew around a Benedictine monastery that became a spiritual and economic center by the 12th century. Later, following the 1930 flood, the town was rebuilt while preserving its medieval architecture.
The Church of Saint-Pierre displays exceptional Romanesque sculptures that demonstrate religious artistry through intricately carved portals. These works reflect the artistic skills that developed over generations in this region.
The town is accessible via a railway station on the Bordeaux-Toulouse line with regular connections to major cities. Visitors find it easy to explore on foot, as the main sites of interest are relatively close together.
The Church of Saint-Martin preserves paintings from the 14th century and contains structural elements dating back to the 3rd century. These layers of history make the place an example of how different periods coexist within a single building.
