Église Saint-Vincent-de-Xaintes, Romanesque Revival church in Dax, France

The church features three naves separated by columns with painted coffered ceilings and hemicycle apses vaulted in dome-shaped structures at rue des Écoles.

Built in 1893 on the site of an 11th-century basilica, the church stands where Vincent de Xaintes, the first bishop of Dax, met his martyrdom.

The central stained glass windows illustrate the life of Saint Vincent, while a Christogram from the previous church remains above the entrance.

The church opens its doors throughout the year during religious ceremonies and can be reached via Line 2 public transport to Collège Léon des Landes.

The church contains a 5th-century mosaic in its choir area and stands on the foundations of a former Gallo-Roman temple.
