Abbaye Saint-Eusèbe de Saignon, Benedictine abbey in Saignon, France
The church structure features a central apse decorated with Lombard bands and side chapels constructed with precisely cut stones.
Founded in the 8th century, the abbey expanded its influence across multiple dioceses including Apt and Nice during the 12th century.
The former granary has been transformed into an exhibition space, hosting art displays within its stone-vaulted interior.
The abbey complex spans over 2 hectares and includes two main halls, Saint-Martian and Saint-Maurice, with a total area of 300 square meters.
Archaeological excavations revealed a Roman palace, the Palace of Fronton, existed on this site during the 2nd and 3rd centuries.
