Église Saint-Pierre de Royan, Romanesque church in Royan, France.
The Saint-Pierre church features a Latin cross layout with a square bell tower connected to the south transept arm of the building.
First mentioned in the 11th century, the church underwent modifications during religious wars when Protestants destroyed parts of the nave structure.
The church gained recognition in French art when painter Maurice Utrillo captured its architecture on canvas in the early 20th century.
Visitors can access the church daily and observe its architectural elements, including Roman-inspired column capitals decorated with masks and acanthus leaves.
The bell tower, heightened in 1729 by engineer Jean Barrelier de Bitry, functions as a seamark for maritime navigation.
