SAINT-JUST BASILICA
VALCABRERE , Haute-Garonne – Cultural heritage
About
Listed as a Historic Monument. Church of Saint-Just, Saint-Pasteur and Saint-Etienne, known as the Chapel of Saint-Just in Valcabrère
Listed in 1840.. Situated near the village of Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges, standing alone in the fields, this charming Romanesque church, completed in the 12th century, was built close to one of the cemeteries of the ancient Roman town of Lugdunum. Consequently, its walls contain numerous reused Roman-era materials, mainly funerary. It features a beautiful carved portal and a 14th-century square bell tower. Situated on several routes to Santiago de Compostela (Chemin du Piémont, Via Garona), the Basilica of Saint-Just has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998 as part of the Routes of Santiago de Compostela. A short walk away, don’t miss the viewpoint offering a sweeping view of both the Basilica of Saint-Just and Sainte-Marie Cathedral. The first known mention of this chapel dates from the late 12th century and comes from Orderic Vital’s *Liber Miraculorum Sancti Bertrandi*. The high altar was consecrated in 1200 and placed under the protection of Saint Just, Saint Pasteur and Saint Stephen. The construction makes extensive use of materials from ancient architectural structures. In 1838, the local council undertook to fill the cracks in the vault with a mixture of lime and sand mortar. In 1911–1912 and 1950–1958, the apse was restored. In 1983, the flooring of part of the nave was replaced.
