Things to see and do

You can admire the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin with its bell tower from the 15th century. Its square tower, a real dungeon, serves both parochial and entrance porch. Its arched porch dates from the same era. The hinges and anchor holes wooden bars suggest a portal allowing its closure. The murderous visible front highlight the role of defense of the tower.

Plane trees on the place of you will pass the Cape Cross Del Pisa (1838). This cross foreshadows the first door of the old walled town, cape meaning "head" in Occitan. Included is a seal of Solomon with a rosette with six petals and a Latin cross with its center in a monstrance.
