Prieuré de Saint-Macaire, Medieval priory in Saint-Macaire, France.
The priory features three polygonal apses decorated with carved capitals, combining both Roman and Gothic architectural elements in its structure.
Built in the 11th century on the site of a Gallo-Roman villa named Ligena, the priory underwent several reconstructions during the Hundred Years War.
The Gothic portal displays sculptures of apostles and angels, along with scenes depicting the parable of wise and unwise virgins.
The monastery includes a vaulted cellar, refectory, four cells, and various rooms accessible from basement to upper floor through stone stairs.
The priory adapts to a 50% slope between the limestone rock where the church stands and the former bank of the Garonne River.
