Abbatiale Sainte-Foy de Conques

Conques has been frequented by pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela since the 12th century. The large abbey church of Sainte Foy has an impressive tympanum depicting The Last Judgment. Conques is historically an important place on the road to Santiago de Compostela

We we were staying with many others in the Benedictine monastery of Conques, behind the Abbey. A meal was also served there in the evening.

We walked back into the mountains the next morning, on our way to Moissac.
