2009-05-18 Souillac, Abbaye Sainte-Marie de Souillac, Lot, Midi-Pyrénées 03

            The church dates back to the twelfth century, and is similar to the Byzantine style buildings such as with Périgueux Cathedral Saint -Front and Cahors Cathedral Saint -Étienne in familiar, but it is more advanced in its forms, in its lighter elevation. From the outside you can admire a lovely bedside with pentagonal apses and an amazing tour. The transept is particularly important, while the choir, polygonal, opens with several chapels. Inside, the fragments of the portal destroyed in the sixteenth century by the Huguenots brought inside the church in the seventeenth century, grouped somewhat arbitrarily, attract attention. They have three registers legend of Theophilus, who sold his soul to the devil and preparing the sacrifice of Isaac.To the right (looking at the gate), we observe the curious pillar of Souillac impressive tangle of monsters, the indefinite purpose lack of documents. The same side, we see the tremendous figure of the prophet Isaiah, a masterpiece of the whole, and should be regarded as a seminal work of world sculpture.
