Monolithic Church

An unmissable place unveils itself to you in 30 minutes!

The monolithic church, dug out at the beginning of the 12th century, is an underground religious building which is revealed to the visitor by the position of a 68-metre high bell tower.

In spite of its impressive proportions (38m long and 12m high), the monolithic church is hidden from visitors behind a gothic portal, which only your guide can open for you.

In the heart of the city, the monolithic church recalls the religious activity of the city in the Middle Ages and intrigues by its unusual design.

A stage not to be missed when you come to Saint-Émilion!

DON'T BE LATE!

To avoid the stress of arriving at the last minute, plan to arrive early so as not to be late for your visit. Indeed, finding a parking space can sometimes take a little time in Saint-Émilion.

And once the visit has begun: you will not be able to join the group in the underground monuments and will not be reimbursed.
