Sainte-Croix, Eleventh-century Romanesque church in Oloron-Sainte-Marie, France.
The Sainte-Croix church features a main nave with two side aisles, leading to a choir section that terminates in a central apse.
Bishop Amat laid the foundation stone of the church around 1080, building upon the site of a former basilica during the town's establishment.
The Spanish Baroque altarpiece and altar, completed in 1708, adorn the northern transept arm and reflect the regional artistic influences.
The church welcomes visitors daily from 8 AM to 7 PM, with self-guided tour systems available at the entrance.
The crossing of the transept features a Byzantine central dome shaped like an eight-pointed star, influenced by Mozarabic architecture.
