L’église Saint‑Pierre de La Romieu (Gers), nouvelle interprétation by Jacques Dubois

“…However, several arrangements raise questions, while the study of the building shows that the church and octagonal tower were built first and that the construction of the cloister and bell tower was undertaken in a second phase when the prelate founded, in 1318, a collegiate church for funerary purposes. …”
