The Basilica of St. Sernin in Toulouse, built about 1080 - 1120, is the largest still existing Romanesque church in France. It was built, to accommodate the many pilgrims, as Toulouse has always been a very important stop on the way to Santiago de Compostella. It is said, that pilgrims, who, for what reasons ever, could not make it to Santiago, tried at least to reach St. Sernin in Toulouse.
I had been here before, but this time I had reached the place by foot, what makes quite a difference. The church seemed larger than ever - and I decided to stay in Toulouse over the weekend.
