Description
The Saint-Salvy collegiate church has a heterogeneous appearance, reflecting the evolution of the construction methods, mixing roman languedocian art and gothic architecture. The caesura between the two styles is also opposed in materials, stone for the old and red brick for the newest. The duration of the work for buiding it, over nearly seven centuries, was determined by the alternation of good or lean periods. ( infos wikipedia)
La collégiale de Saint-Salvy a une apparence hétérogène, reflétant l'évolution des méthodes de construction, mélangeant l'art roman languedocien et l'architecture gothique. La césure entre les deux styles est également opposée dans les matériaux, la pierre pour l'ancienne et la brique rouge pour la plus récente. La durée du travail de construction, sur près de sept siècles, a été déterminée par l'alternance des périodes riches ou pauvres. (infos Wikipédia)

Le contraste des architectures et des matériaux est très fort..........par ton cadrage, tu as sû rendre la belle perspective, ainsi que la belle lumière sur cette église, magnifique prise de vue, Jean-Claude !
Super info, nice tall tower on this structure. Great job on the shot, Jean.
Interesting architecture, and blend of periods. 7 centuries, now that's dedication!
Great photo! Very interesting information!
Très jolie photo Jean-Claude, et merci pour la visite virtuelle de la ville que tu nous offres ;) hehe. On a quelques curiosités ici, dont une des seules statues monumentales de Napoléon ^^ , mais c'est surtout les paysages qui sont sympas, la ville elle -même est pas folichonne.
it is interesting to see how the two styles blend together - great shot
Great view and capture. Imposing building.
Klasse Foto,super info,klasse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A medieval WIP :) Wonderful shot!
une belle photo ,qui informe en plus !
jolie
I love the contrast in the construction materials and your explanation of their origins! These larger, older stones are absolutely gorgeous. And your POV here is spectacular, JC! What a marvelous shot, my friend.
Yes, the gothic style one can see in between the others! Stunning architecture and towerwalls 😃
Stunning catch, Jean!
The craftsmanship on these old structures boggle the mind
It probably needed to have a lot of stones coming from far and get up high where the churches were build on top. No marl brick is the same and is needed to saw. Great picture ;)
Super POV and an excellent shot!!
they fail to realize just how contrasting the difference will be. never the less you captured it so well
