Église Sainte-Spérie de Saint-Céré, Catholic church in Saint-Céré, France.

The church features a wide nave with vaulted ceilings, marble altarpiece, and a bell tower constructed using stones from former city walls.

The initial structure, built in the 10th century, contained the tomb of Saint Spérie, a martyred noblewoman from the 8th century.

The stained glass windows, created by Louis Victor Gesta from Toulouse in the early 1900s, depict the legend of Saint Spérie.

Visitors can access the underground crypt through a trapdoor in the floor, which contains an altar table carved in the 11th century.

The church holds fragments of Saint Spérie's original sarcophagus embedded within the crypt walls.
