Abbaye Saint-Pierre d'Uzerche, Romanesque abbey in Uzerche, France.
The stone structure features a central nave topped by a substantial bell tower, with radiating chapels and an ambulatory surrounding the choir.
Construction of the building began in 1030, and its consecration took place in 1095 in the presence of the bishops of Limoges and Périgueux.
The Romanesque sculptures adorning the capitals and portals demonstrate the artistic techniques employed by craftsmen of the eleventh century.
The abbey stands at the summit of Uzerche town and provides extensive free parking for visitors in the immediate vicinity.
An underground crypt preserves archaeological remains from the fifth century, when Bishop Ruricius mentioned the presence of a monastic sanctuary.
