SAINT JACQUES’ - VILLEFRANCHE DE CONFLENT

This beautiful Romanesque building has a richly decorated main portal in pink marble, probably the work of the same sculptors as those in the cloister of the abbey of Saint-Michel-de-Cuixà. It is accompanied by a smaller portal. The interior of the church is very rich. There are numerous tombstones and choir stalls dating from the 15th century, a 12th-century baptismal font, a beautiful 14th-century recumbent statue of Christ, a Virgin and Child known as Our Lady of Good Success, and the altarpiece of Our Lady of Life, the work of the Sunyer workshop dating from the early 18th century.
