This village by the wonderful beauty of its situation merits the attention of artists and excites the curiosity of archæologists; but its reputation is due especially to its celebrated sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin Mary which for centuries has attracted pilgrims from every country, among them kings, bishops, and nobles.

This is the stunning chapel containing the carving of the black Madonna, carved by St Amadour.
There are seven medieval chapels built into the rock, one of which contains the mysterious Black Madonna, venerated for over a thousand years.
There are wonderful legends of how the body of St. Amadour was miraculously preserved for 1.100 years; how the ancient bell rings itself when a miracle occurs at sea; how the sword in the rock you see in front of you is really the famous sword of Roland. . . . Near the tomb of St. Amadour is the Church of the Black Madonna and the Miraculous Bell.
