Built in the Flamboyant Gothic style between the late 14th and 16th centuries, this minor basilica is the second largest Catholic church in the area. Its construction spanned approximately two centuries, resulting in a significant example of religious architecture from the late medieval and early Renaissance periods.

The church is distinguished by its independent campanile, or bell tower, which stands at 114 meters. Completed in the 15th century, it is the tallest structure of its kind in southern France. The site is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site as part of the Routes of Santiago de Compostela.

The property includes a historical crypt that was previously known for exhibiting mummified bodies. As a significant place of worship, the building remains an active church while serving as a major historical landmark.
