Conques has been named one of the most beautiful villages in France and its centerpiece is the magnificent Abbey Church of Sainte Foy, a child martyred at age 12 and whose relics are enshrined inside.
The original monastery building was built in the Sixth Century and when relics of Sainte Foy were stolen from elsewhere, the eventual church began an important stop on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela.
The Romanesque Last Judgement from the Twelfth Century over the entrance takes time to pick out all the details and I hope you enjoy my brief summary of the important bits.

Thanks for the interesting description of the this facade. We were just there in Oct. 19.

You are very welcome! When we ended the 1st section of the Way in Conques prior to beginning this section, I knew none of the facade history. This time, I smartened up and actually read the description from the Information Office, duh me. Even then I had trouble picking out some of the pieces. It is absolutely stunning though, as is Conques. Hope you had a great visit there and were you doing the "Way"? Thanks for your view and time to comment. Best to you, Sheila 😍

Thanks for the video, I am writing a short paper about this church for my Art Appreciation class. :)

I am so glad it helped! This time in Conques I wrote down what to look for and then actually looked for all the details which certainly makes a difference to enjoying. Didn't you love roasting a person over the fire? Good luck with your paper and best regards, Sheila

Looked like that rabbit was going to have a nice meal. :P Thanks, I am already halfway done with the paper. :)
