Historic Religious Sites
Figeac’s religious landscape is defined by the 11th-century Saint-Sauveur abbatial church and the Romanesque Notre-Dame-du-Puy, which features a significant 17th-century carved altarpiece. The collection includes the 14th-century Église des Carmes, the town's smallest church, and the 19th-century Carmel du Sacré-Cœur monastery. These sites illustrate the town's evolution from a Benedictine power center to a key stop on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela.
