Collégiale Saint-Pierre, La Romieu

The Collégiale Saint-Pierre features two 33-meter-high towers, an octagonal tower, and a Gothic cloister connecting to the main sanctuary complex.

Construction of the Collégiale Saint-Pierre began in 1312 under Arnaud d'Aux, transforming a modest priory into an expansive collegiate church by 1318.

The church stands as a crucial landmark on the Way of Saint James pilgrimage route, drawing thousands of travelers seeking spiritual connection each year.

Admission costs €6.50 for adults, with guided tours available that detail the architectural elements and historical significance of the religious complex.

Four restoration phases will commence in September to address deterioration issues, particularly focusing on the clay-rich stones that require careful preservation.
