Guided tour in English of Abbey church of Saint-Savin

Sheltering the greatest set of Romanesque mural paintings preserved in Europe, the abbey church of Saint-Savin is a master piece of world art. Lying on perfect harmony between architecture and painting, it was built around the year 1000 and it is the only site on the UNESCO’s World Heritage List in the Vienne, since 1983!
