Moissac - Abbaye Saint-Pierre de Moissac (PiP)
A legend has it that Saint-Pierre Abbey was founded by the Frankish king Clovis in 506, but historians proved that it was actually founded by the Bishop of Cahors in the 7th century.
The monastery did not have it easy. It was attacked twice by Moorish troops in the 8th century. A hundred years later, the Normans rowed up the Garonne and raided the place. After Hungarian troops plundered and finally destroyed it in the 10th century, the monastery was rebuilt.
When the pilgrimage to Santiago became popular, the Abbey of Cluny was annexed and was an important stop on the Via Podensis. This was the golden age for the abbey and abbots investing in architecture and art. The Romanesque church, consecrated in 1063, was completely destroyed during the Albigensian Crusade.
The portal, which was built around 1110/1130, has survived the times. It's a magnificent piece of Romanesque art.
