Prieuré du Val des Nymphes, Romanesque monastery in La Garde-Adhémar, France.

The location holds remnants of ancient Gallo-Roman worship dedicated to nymphs near natural springs, connecting religious traditions across centuries.

The chapel's facade incorporates a trinity window arrangement with decorative archivolts supported by four successive arch rings.
