CHURCH OF PLANES
PLANES , Pyrénées-Orientales – Cultural heritage
About
What makes this church so unusual is its circular plan, which makes it one of a kind. The church is topped by a dome resting on three masonry blocks located at the corners of an equilateral triangle and joined by three arcades opening onto three apsidioles. The building appears to date from the 11th century, but does not appear in texts until the 15th century. You can still visit the church from the outside, as it only opens its doors for the village festival in September. However, if you wish to visit the interior, you will need to ask for the keys from the gîte d’étape opposite the church.
