About Basilica of Saint-Sernin
Canons of Saint-Sernin began building this church in the late eleventh century to house the relics of the martyr Saint Saturninus. It became a major stop on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, drawing pilgrims to venerate its many relics. Its scale and sculpted portals made it an influential model for Romanesque architecture in southern France.
