Église Saint-Pierre de Mons

The Saint-Pierre de Mons Church features an abside constructed from ferruginous sandstone blocks and displays six carved capitals along its walls.

The church foundations date back to the 11th century, with significant additions including a defensive tower constructed at the end of the 15th century.

This religious monument served as a stopping point for medieval pilgrims traveling the Tours route toward Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain.

The church maintains its original structure with a nave extended by a south aisle, offering visitors insights into medieval architectural techniques.

Near the church stands a mysterious obelisk and the Saint-Clair miraculous fountain, adding historical elements to the religious complex.
