Saint-André church in Saint-André, Romanesque church in Saint-André, France

The church exhibits a western facade with three distinct levels, each displaying different masonry techniques from bottom to top.

Abbot Miro and his monks established this monastery in 823 on lands granted by Louis the Pious to escape invasions in Spain.

The western portal lintel features a sculpture of Christ surrounded by angels and saints, similar to decorations found in neighboring churches.

The building stands at 2 Place de l'Église in the Pyrénées-Orientales department and belongs to the Sacred Heart of Albères parish.

The construction reveals three chronological periods: 10th-century river stones, 11th-century smoothed stones, and 12th-century dressed stones.
