Description

Built as early as the 12th century, Saint-Martial church is of Romanesque origin. However, it was destroyed several times and rebuilt, which explains the presence of Gothic elements. Its bell tower has a very distinctive shape. It is in the so-called "English" style, with a hexagonal shape on a square base. Inside, the Baroque altarpiece is the most striking feature. Dating from the 17th century, it is the work of the Tournié brothers. It depicts biblical scenes such as the Annunciation and Saint-Georges slaying the dragon, as well as Saint-Martial as a bishop.
