Eglise Saint-Martin à Limoux, Catholic church in Limoux, France.

Saint-Martin Church features three naves, an ambulatory, five apsidal chapels, and ten lateral chapels positioned between the buttresses of the structure.

The church, first mentioned in a document from 1120, belonged to Saint-Hilaire Abbey before becoming property of the Prouille monastery in 1208.

The church maintains a wooden baldachin from the 18th century and houses an organ crafted by Pierre de Montbrun between 1740 and 1742.

The church tower, reconstructed in 1777 following lightning damage, serves as the highest point in Limoux and a reference point for navigation.

The octagonal bell tower section, built in the 16th century, transitions from a square base through four corbels to create its distinctive shape.
