Ruins of the chapel of Villemartin

The chapel of Villemartin dates back to the late Romanesque period (late XNUMXth, early XNUMXth century). The entrance is to the south by a magnificent portal with a multi-lobed archivolt resting on two columns with carved capitals. The chapel is arranged in three bays: the first two make up the nave and the third the sanctuary. This building, built according to a rectangular plan, ends with a flat apse lit by three pointed windows. The chapel belonged to the order of the Hospitallers of Saint John of Jerusalem.
