Chapelle Saint-Véran

This chapel is located on private property by the side of the Chemin de Saint-Véran. The quality and perfect stone-setting of this building, most of which is in ruins, make it one of the most characteristic in Romanesque Provence. It had a single nave, with a barrel vault resting on transverse arches and built around a semi-domed apse; on each side of the entrance to the apse were rubble stones decorated with foliage with plant and geometrical designs. There was a side chapel to the south.
Only the eastern side of the building, including the well-preserved apse, is still standing. Built in honour of Saint Véran, Bishop of Cavaillon, the chapel was plundered and demolished by the Saracens, then rebuilt in the 10th century. It is possible to see stones decorated with Roman sculptures which were reused for its construction; the walls also feature masonry seals, including that of Pontius, the contractor for Saint Gabriel Chapel in Tarascon.
Closed to visitors.
