    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.
