Église Saint-Romans

Saint-Romans-lès-Melle is a French commune, which leads three scallops in the coat of arms. The most important sight is the 12th-century church of Saint-Romans.

It is a charming 12th century church off the village in a cool valley.
Note the south orientation of the apse. The apse is designed in a straight line with three windows without ornamentation. A squat bell tower (15th century) completes the building.

The overview of the northwestern church allows you to see the heart of the building: the western portal crowned by a strip of modillons. The southern part of the door shows an interesting composition: a lion that stretches both on the wall as well
holding on to a basket next to an oval human mask carved on the same basket.
