Saint Cyriacus Collegiate

Saint Cyriacus Collegiate is a church building in the Romanesque style, featuring massive stone walls, semicircular arches, and a prominent central dome. The interior displays typical Romanesque elements with barrel vaults and sturdy pillars that define its structure.

Construction began in the 12th century when Provins emerged as a major trading center with annual fairs. The church underwent changes over the centuries that shaped its current form and function.

The church serves as a gathering place where the local community comes together for worship and religious celebrations throughout the year. Many residents of Provins have personal connections to this building and its spaces.

Access is through Place Saint-Quiriace and opening hours are arranged to accommodate both visitors and worshippers. Keep in mind that access may be limited during religious ceremonies and services.

The dome was completed in the 17th century and replaced an earlier wooden structure. Today it remains a recognizable landmark that can be seen from many vantage points around the town.
