Église Saint-Martial, Religious monument in Angoulême, France.

Église Saint-Martial is a Neo-Romanesque church on a paved square in central Angoulême, rebuilt from 1849 to 1856 to Paul Abadie's design. Its light grey and beige stone front has a square tower on the left rising into a steep spire with corner pinnacles, a round clock face above tall arched openings, and deep round-arched portals with receding stone layers. The long body to the right has a dark steep roof, round-arched windows and small triangular gables along the roofline.

A church and cemetery stood on this site before the 11th century; the first Romanesque church with a crypt was built in the 12th century, when the area was still a suburb of Angoulême. It was enlarged through the Middle Ages and partly destroyed during the Wars of Religion in the second half of the 16th century. The old building, threatening collapse, was closed in 1848; Paul Abadie rebuilt it from 1849 to 1856, and it was consecrated on 21 July 1853.

The parish takes its name from Saint Martial of Limoges, who evangelised Aquitaine in the 3rd and 4th centuries; the surrounding Saint-Martial quarter was a suburb absorbed within Angoulême's walls in the 13th century. Inside, the 1857 stained glass from the Lobin workshops of Tours shows a series of saints, including Martial himself.

The church stands in the Saint-Martial quarter in the centre of Angoulême, on a paved square facing its tower and spire. The entrance is through the tower porch, whose first floor opens onto the nave via a platform above the doorway. Look for the 1857 Lobin windows and the organ case with pilasters.

The 1857 stained-glass windows were made by the Lobin workshops of Tours and show a series of saints, including Martial of Limoges, the apostle of Aquitaine to whom the church is dedicated. The neo-Romanesque organ case with pilasters, also designed by Paul Abadie, has been listed as a monument historique objet since 1995.
