[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 826304, member: 53455"] Thank you for your kind comment. :) [B]The priory church of Saint-Romain-le-Puy (2021)[/B] Benedictine monks settled on the high hill of Saint-Romain-le-Puy in Auvergne (central France) as early as 550-600 AD. There, they built a pre–Romanesque church of which only the crypt remains (please see below). The current church was built around 900 AD, and enlarged around Year 1000. The [I]alfresco[/I] paintings that remain on some of the walls are from the 14th or 15th centuries. There are many details in the appareling (the way the stones are assembled) and the decoration of this church that make it very famous among Mediævalists.
