Vestige of a Benedictine priory founded in the 11th century, the Saint-Pierre de Bredons church dominates the Alagnon valley and the medieval town of Murat, in Cantal.

This small fortified Romanesque church, listed as a historical monument, is perched on the rock of Bredons, a basalt dyke located 980 meters above sea level.
