The superb 12th century Romanesque church of Saint-Martin is located in Thuret.

This 12th-century Romanesque church has little to envy the region's five remarkable basilicas. Inside, take time to admire the astonishing wealth of capitals and figures. Among them, a chained monkey, a dog biting its tail, a phoenix... A Black Madonna has also been venerated here since the Seventh Crusade. Last but not least, Saint Bénilde, a native of Thuret, is worshipped here. A pilgrimage is dedicated to him in July. The site has been known since antiquity for its geomagnetic benefits.

Un bijou de l'architecture romane auvergnate. Ses chapiteaux illustrés, son tympan remarquable, elle se doit d'être visitée pour de nombreuses raisons liées à son art. Mais c'est aussi une église où l'on se recueille, où l'on dépose un cierge auprès de Saint Bénilde. Elle est aussi connue pour des histoires plus... telluriques...
