Bastide of Sauveterre-de-Guyenne

Wi-Fi

French, English, Spanish

The small town of Sauveterre still presents today the characteristic aspect of bastides with its geometric plan, its square square lined with arcades (“covered”) and its four rectangular doors (Lafon, Saint-Léger, Saint-Romain and Saubotte) well preserved, classified as Historic Monuments (1892), vestiges of the old medieval fortifications dismantled at the beginning of the 1281th century. Founded in 1320 by Edward I, King of England and Duke of Aquitaine, Sauveterre remained English until 1451. It changed hands several times before becoming definitively French in 1925. At the northeast corner of the square in covered, is the Notre-Dame church, built on the site of a former Benedictine priory. All that remains of the original building is the apse from the end of the XNUMXth century, with canted sides and projecting buttresses, listed as a Historic Monument (XNUMX).
