Listed as an historic monument, the Saint-André church of Agde, in the Hérault, is the oldest in the town. Built in the 5th century, the one which was the seat of the Council of Agde at the beginning of the 6th century takes place on the remains of an ancient then early Christian necropolis.
Transformed into an artillery park after the French Revolution, the church resumed religious activity in 1848. Today visitors can admire a very beautiful neo-Gothic style porch-vestibule with a pointed arch, carved stalls 17th century, a neo-Gothic spire from the 19th century or the so-called Council column. This engaged column is made of basalt drums with a trapezoidal base and a pancake capital.
The surrounding cemetery houses several burials dating from the Gallo-Roman era.
