The monolithic church was built between the 16th and 15th centuries. Situated in the heart of the town, the religious building has remarkable architecture. Built in a single block from the limestone plateau, it was designed to welcome hundreds of pilgrims to the tomb of its patron saint, the Breton monk Emilion. From the top of its 68-metre bell tower, you can climb its 196 steps and admire a 360° view of the Saint-Emilion region.
