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.

A little bit of a hidden gem in Beziers. A great little basilica with a lovely courtyard to one side. Worth a visit if you can find it as it is slightly off the beaten track. There was a choir practice in progress when I visited which sounded amazing but made me feel like I was intruding so I kept my visit brief.

Très belle Basilique, petite visite durant les journées du Patri-moine ( lol ) J'ai pu prendre de jolies photos, certains vitraux sont magnifiques. On as également pu rentrer dans la crypte, lugubre mais intéressant !

Bien placée sur les ramparts avec une belle vue surplombant. Un escalier sportif de 265 marches vous conduit au sommet pour une vue à 360 degrés.
