Basilica built over the cave that served as a tomb for the evangelist saint Aphrodise, patron saint and first bishop of Béziers

Pre-Romanesque church of the 8th century, reworked from the 12th to the 14th century, the basilica is built on the cave that served as a tomb for the evangelizing saint, patron and first bishop of Béziers: Aphrodise. Legend has it that after converting the city to Christianity, he was beheaded by order of the Roman governor. Aphrodise went to the cave that served as his tomb, his head under his arm! The inhabitants took care of the camel which, after his death, became the totemic animal of the city.

Magique basilique, ouverte le vendredi après-midi. Vraiment dommage que les personnes assises dedans, ne soient que peu éloquentes, leur arracher un bonjour ou un sourire fut très difficile, et peu avenants pour donner des explications.ils gâchent le côté magique de cet édifice.
