About
Sainte-Marie de Souillac Abbey owes its origin to the Benedictine monks of Saint-Pierre d’Aurillac who established an outbuilding in this place in the 10th century. Known for its depiction of the prophet Isaiah, the 12th century building has the dual interest of offering a high quality sculpted ensemble and being, along with the Cathedral of Cahors, the only preserved Romanesque church with a row of domes in the Haut-Quercy.The abbey of Sainte-Marie in Souillac owes its origin to the Benedictine monks of Saint-Pierre d’Aurillac who established a dependent house here in the 10th C. Well-known for a relief showing the prophet Isaiah, the 12th C. building is doubly interesting, as not only does it contain carvings of high quality, it also has the distinction, along with Cahors Cathedral, of being one of the only two remaining Romanesque domed churches in Haut Quercy.
