Église de la Madeleine de Béziers, Romanesque church in Béziers, France.

The Madeleine Church features massive stone vaults, thick walls, and rounded arches that characterize the pure Romanesque architectural style of southern France.

The church witnessed a tragic event in 1209 when numerous residents seeking refuge within its walls perished during the Albigensian Crusade.

Regular religious ceremonies and cultural events take place in this church, which serves both as a parish church and a testament to medieval craftsmanship.

The church maintains regular visiting hours from Tuesday to Sunday, with guided tours available through the Béziers Tourism Office.

The bell tower, elevated during the 14th century, contains a spiral staircase added in the 15th century, marking different construction periods.
