This Saint-Pierre de Moissac abbey is a place of spirituality distinguished by its architecture and sculptures.

The Abbey of Saint-Pierre de Moissac, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the most beautiful French architectural ensembles with its extraordinary Romanesque sculptures. Its cloister is presented as one of the most beautiful in southern Europe. The oldest remains of this abbey date back to the 9th century, but it knew its golden age in the 11th century. A high place of spirituality to be visited with a guide, an audioguide or completely autonomously.

Le tympan et le cloitre de l'église abbatiale de Moissac constituent une merveille de l'art roman. Des sculptures de toute beauté présentant une thématique variée, reprenant des scènes de l'ancien et du nouveau Testament, véritable bible historiée, ainsi que des vies de saints. Ce site vaut le voyage.

Entrez dans ce grand site de la région Midi Pyrénées, cela vaut le détour et même le voyage ! Le portail de l'abbatiale , (avec les explications de la vidéo à l'intérieur du cloître ) est une leçon de morale à lui seul, les statues de l'abbatiale sont superbes , que ce soit la fuite en Egypte, la mise au tombeau.. et que dire du cloître avec ses chapiteaux historiés à couper le souffle. Un havre de quiétude et un trésor d'architecture

An unmissable site!
To see as many times. A unique collection of sculpted and historiated capitals.
Do not deprive guided tour with " Georges" , a well learning. He knows the building by heart and will not leave without a doubt meet.
If you can also try the night Thursday evening tower. Your vision of the cloister is full.
