Built between 848 and 872, the Saint-Etienne Cathedral is one of the finest Romanesque fortifications on the Languedoc coast. Built of local volcanic stone, this church looks like a medieval fortress and will take you back in time.

This old church in Agde from the 12th century is made of black basalt rock from the nearby volcanic vents. In the aisle there are other very old foundations. The interior is surprising with a lavish altar and organ, while the church looks rather plain from the outside.
