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

Église Sainte-Spérie is a church with a broad nave topped by vaulted ceilings and a bell tower built from stones salvaged from former city walls. Its interior features a marble altarpiece and a crypt beneath the floor level, accessible through a trapdoor.

The present church is Romanesque in origin, built over a crypt whose carved altar slab may date from the 10th or 11th century. Apart from that crypt, nothing survives from before the 13th century. After the Hundred Years' War the building was altered in the late 15th century, then burned by Huguenots after they took the town in 1584 and restored. The bell tower was added between 1756 and 1760 using stones from demolished town walls.

The stained glass windows, created by Louis Victor Gesta from Toulouse in the early 1900s, depict scenes from the life of Saint Spérie. They fill the interior with colored light and tell her story through images.

The underground crypt is accessible to visitors and offers insight into the medieval interior of the building. It is advisable to move slowly and watch for uneven floors and low ceilings that are typical of such underground spaces.

The altar table in the crypt is a flat-relief slab measuring 0.88 m by 0.72 m and 0.15 m thick, carved with a figure grasping a grape cluster attached to an ornamental palmette. Letters on it are probably what remains of the donor's name. The slab may date from the 10th or 11th century.
