Église Saint-Sauveur, Medieval church in Figeac, France.

The church structure exhibits architectural elements from different periods, with notable features including carved capitals, decorative sculptures, and a prominent transept crossing dome.

Founded in 838 by King Pépin I of Aquitaine, the church emerged from a monastery established at the request of the Abbey of Sainte-Foy de Conques.

The interior contains religious artworks, including a Last Supper representation, six chandeliers, reliquaries, and two-part retables depicting Christian narratives.

Located at 1 Bis Place Edmond Michelet in Figeac, the church received monument historique classification in 1840 and remains open for religious services.

During the Protestant Reformation in 1576, Calvinists damaged the structure, causing pillars and vaults to collapse, leading to subsequent reconstruction with Gothic elements.
