EGLISE SAINT-JEAN BAPTISTE
VIAS , Hérault – Cultural heritage
About
The gothic style of the church is apparent in its construction : black stone from the volcanoes in nearby Vias. It began towards the end of the 14th century, partly fortified; this building which is situated in the pro-longing of the ramparts participated in defending the town. Thus the bell tower was designed like a dungeon and at the base of the pyramid shaped arrow decorated with gargouilles, a gallery with open-work was used as a “guarded path”. Inside, the south chapel conceals the Antique Virgin and the worshipped Miraculous of Vias. According to the legend Syrian navigators were lost in a storm and decided to offer the Virgin that they were transporting to the first sanctuary they came acroos if they were saved from wreckage. The St Jean-Baptiste church as a whole is classified as an historical monument.
