EGLISE SAINTE EULALIE DE MÉRIDA

The church was rebuilt in the Romanesque period and completely rebuilt and fortified in the 15th and 16th centuries. The gothic building, characteristic of the southern gothic style, has nevertheless preserved some vestiges of the romanesque church which had three naves with a small transept. This fortified church is one of the very few rural sanctuaries in the region to have preserved the remains of ancient stained glass windows

In the Middle Ages, the parish of Cruzy depended on the diocese of Narbonne, and its church, dedicated to Sainte-Eulalie de Mérida, was under the direct authority of the chapter of the cathedral of Saint-Just. This surely explains the size and the architectural quality of the monument, the presence of stained glass windows and the existence of antique furniture of real value : Virgin and Child in polychrome stone from the 14th century, Christ of Pity in stone from the 16th century, lectern in wrought iron from the 18th century.
