Église Saint-Jean le Vieux de Perpignan
Église Saint-Jean le Vieux de Perpignan, Romanesque church in Saint-Jean district, Perpignan, France.
The building features a bell tower base decorated with Romanesque arches and a southern portal composed of two distinct arches from the thirteenth century.
Built in the tenth century, the church was consecrated in 1025 by the Bishop of Elne before being replaced by Saint-Jean-Baptiste Cathedral in the fourteenth century.
The southern portal, created by sculptor Raymond de Bianya, represents the peak of Roussillon Romanesque sculpture with its enthroned Christ figure.
The building is located on Rue Bartissol in Perpignan, accessible from Wilson and Variétés bus stops, near the Gothic cathedral.
In 1905, the church was converted into an electric factory, resulting in substantial structural modifications and deterioration of its original architecture.
