Église de Saint-Aventin, Romanesque church in Saint-Aventin, France
The Saint-Aventin church features two distinct bell towers, a southern facade decorated with sculptures, and an asymmetrical Lombard Romanesque apse with a semicircular design.
Built in the 11th century, this church became one of the first French historical monuments in 1840, during the initial listing of 1034 monuments.
The facade sculptures incorporate Gallo-Roman altars dedicated to the Pyrenean god Abellio and funerary cippi, reflecting ancient religious practices in the region.
The religious building stands in the Larboust Valley, accessible from Bagnères-de-Luchon, and offers regular visits to explore its Romanesque architecture.
The 12th-century portal displays carved capitals depicting biblical scenes, complemented by a wrought iron gate closing the choir section.
