The abbey church of Saint-Gilles is an authentic jewel of Romanesque art. It was built in the 12th century. The abbey church of Saint-Gilles was the fourth place of pilgrimage in the Christian world in the Middle Ages after Jerusalem, Rome and Santiago de Compostela.

The former abbey church of Saint-Gilles is located in the middle of the village of the same name, St-Gilles, on the northern edge of the Camargue in the Gard department, France. It is also called the Abbey Church of St. Giles in Saint-Gilles or the Abbey Church of St. Giles in Saint-Gilles.

The former abbey church is particularly known for its richly and artistically designed facade with three portals. Other sights include the stone spiral staircase Vis de St-Gilles (Screw of St-Gilles) and the crypt, with the tomb of its patron, St. Giles.

St-Gilles was once one of the four major pilgrimage destinations in Christianity. To this day it is an important stage on the Via Tolosana, one of the four main French sections of the Way of St. James to Santiago de Compostela.

Since 1998, the church has been designated as part of the Way of St. James in France and is therefore a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
