The church of Saint-Cyrice-et-Sainte-Juliette is a catholic church classified as a historical monument for the remarkable Romanesque vestiges that it preserves.
This church is part of a discovery circuit dedicated to Romanesque art: “Romanesque heritage along the valleys of the Muse, the Rasp of the Tarn and surroundings”

When, from the high plateaus of Lévézou, the traveler’s gaze is directed towards the valley of the Tarn, there is a great chance that he will pass by Montjaux via the D999

This small town, clinging to the south-eastern slope of the mountain, tells its story from very ancient origins

The buildings of the notables, the two castles, the numerous fountains but especially the church Sainte-Juliette testify to this

This jewel of Romanesque art was built in the 12th century by the monks of the abbey of Saint-Victor de Marseille at the southern end of the village, the choir facing the valley of the Muse, the valley of the builders

This monumental work is articulated around three naves, a dome and numerous sculpted capitals which suggest discovery, appeasement and contemplation when for a moment time seems to have stopped Traduction automatique par DeepL via DATAtourisme
