Basilica of Notre-Dame de Marceille, Gothic basilica in Limoux, France.
The Basilica of Notre-Dame de Marceille stands with its pointed arches and single nave containing five bays along Route de Saint Hilaire.
Construction of the religious edifice began in the early 14th century when the prioress's revenues were assigned to the College of Narbonne in Paris.
The church houses a black Virgin statue from the 11th century, which according to local accounts was discovered by oxen and repeatedly returned to its finding spot.
The basilica maintains regular visiting hours from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM daily, with guided tours available through advance reservations at the municipal office.
Archaeological findings at the basilica site include Middle Paleolithic tools and remains of a Gallo-Roman villa, indicating centuries of human presence.
