Collégiale Saint-Junien, Romanesque church in Saint-Junien, France.
The Collegiate Church of Saint-Junien features a nave with massive pillars, a central transept, and three choir bays that define its Romanesque architecture.
The initial construction of the collegiate church began in the 11th century, with a consecration ceremony on October 21, 1100 by Bishop Raynaud of Périgueux.
The capitals of the collegiate church display Persian and Oriental influences through sculptures of griffins, centaurs, and mythical creatures.
Visitors can examine the polychrome frescoes restored in the 1930s, including the representation of the 24 elders of the apocalypse.
The tomb of Saint Junien, dating from the 12th century, replicates metalwork techniques in stone with precise ornamental details.
