The Église Saint-Martin in Ansouis is a 13th-century Romanesque church and a listed historic monument. It is located directly along the city walls and is part of a fortified complex with the neighboring château. Its striking feature is the bell gable with four round-arched openings above the triumphal arch. The interior consists of a vaulted hall with a transept and a rectangular apse. Particularly noteworthy are a gilded high altar, a five-part reredos in honor of Saint Elzéar and Blessed Delphine, and a baptismal font from 1672. The church was reinforced in the 16th century with stones from the old castle. For a time, it also served as the château's court. Its walls still show the remains of the original loopholes. Saint-Martin has been a filming location for films such as "Jean de Florette" and "Manon des Sources." It is open daily and is a testament to Provençal history and architecture.
