Crypt containing the last remains of the important necropolis where Saint Martial was buried, to be discovered in Limoges.

The Saint-Martial crypt takes you on a fascinating journey through the city's history, from Gallo-Roman times to the glory days of the imposing Benedictine abbey of Saint-Martial, which stood on the site of today's Place de la République. An important stopover and place of worship on the Route Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle, it was also an artistic and intellectual center for the entire medieval Christian West. In decline during the Hundred Years' War, the abbey was abandoned in 1789 and demolished.
