    The city of Cluny owes its development to the influence of Cluny Abbey which was the most powerful abbey in medieval Christianity. The result is the survival of an exceptional heritage, much of it inherited from the medieval period.
    Thus, the streets of the city offer the spectacle of medieval houses, the concentration of which is remarkable. The national stud farm and the art and archeology museum complete the city's cultural and sporting offerings.

      The town of Cluny was based on the Benedictine monastery (Cluniac Abbey), founded in 910. The abbey was the starting point and center of the Cluniac reform at the beginning of the 10th century. Cluny reached its peak membership at the beginning of the 12th century, with approximately 400 monks.

      The last abbey church (Cluniac III) was the world's largest Romanesque basilica and, until the construction of today's St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, the largest church in Christendom. The church had seven towers.

      Although large parts of the building were destroyed, the remaining relics are absolutely remarkable and make a visit to Cluny an unforgettable experience!
