Underground Church of Saint-Jean

It is Pierre de Castillon, lord of Aubeterre and builder of the underground church of Saint-Emilion, who decides on his return from the crusade to dig this church under his castle. A monumental construction site, 9 000m³ of stone to be withdrawn is almost 3 Olympic swimming pools!
In the heart of the nave remains a cross-shaped pit, and a reliquary which is the replica of Christ's tomb, 6 meters high. A striking necropolis of 170 graves and a gallery in height will not fail to amaze you once again.
