In the middle of the city called Prades
, you will be amazed by the church Saint-Pierre, rebuilt in the seventeenth century on the foundations of the ancient church of the seventeenth century in Romanic type.
Only remains from that time, the magnificent pyramidal bell tower in Lombard style, all in granite and white marble.
Inside the church there are baroque furniture and a room in which you will appreciate to see the treasure where you can appreciate monstrance, chalices, ciborium the whole being a real Aladdin's cave.
To contemplate, the splendid reliquary of the body of the doge of Venice, Saint-Pierre Orséolo, died towards the end of the tenth century.
We preferred to keep for you the best till last, indeed Joseph Sunyer already known for the magnificent altarpieces of Collioure
, realized for that church the biggest golden altarpiece in baroque style in France.
It is a real jewel, often compared with an "sculptured opera" which itself is worth the trip.
