For the church and its parish, Monpazier decided to dedicate its patronage to Saint Dominic. Studying his life takes us back to the late 12th and early 13th centuries. The priest and founder of the order worked not only in Spain (he was born around 1167 as Domingo de Guzmán in Caleruega near Burgos), but also carried out his pastoral work in France and Italy. Saint Dominic's feast day in the calendar of saints is August 8th in the major Christian denominations, and there are many other local memorial days.

Monpazier is a charming little town in the Dordogne, southwest France, that takes you straight back to the Middle Ages. It was founded in 1284 and looks almost exactly the same today as it did then. The market square with its old market hall, where you can buy fresh, local delicacies, is particularly special. The narrow streets and old stone houses make the town super cozy. When you stroll through Monpazier, you feel like you're in another time, and there are plenty of small shops and cafés that invite you to linger. A really special place! https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monpazier?wprov=sfti1 https://maps.app.goo.gl/CiQMURpJUSA7vrMEA?g_st=ic

Magnificent bastide

Beautiful bastide town with a large hall and a beautiful Romanesque-Gothic church

.

Today owned by the Dordogne department, the castle recognized as a Major Site in Aquitaine and classified as a Historic Monument! It presents a set of buildings whose diversity and superposition of styles still testify to the past power of this family of valiant soldiers and powerful lords, firmly introduced into the immediate entourage of the Kings.
