Route of the old churches of Comminges
From Monday, July 22 to Saturday, August 3.
The Pyrenean valleys contain a considerable heritage of buildings dating from the first years after the year 1000, usually built on ancient Roman sites, and subsequently maintained, enlarged, sometimes adorned with touching frescoes or rich altarpieces along the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the Baroque period. Thus the historic Comminges, including Couserans and Val d’Aran, has up to seventy ancient sanctuaries of great heritage value. But to consider only the works of this distant time would be reductive: the architecture of the nineteenth century has often imitated and created equally valuable buildings, which adorn our villages today Pyrenean. The Comminges Festival, whose jewels that are Saint-Bertrand and Saint-Just remain the privileged home port, had to make resound these ancestral vaults whose beauty and architectural science are worthy of admiration. The Academie of the Festival present their works every day in a different place steeped in history.
