Rampart and portal : remains of the past Photo

Photographer’s Note

Terrasson, that's also the church of Saint-Sour perched on a hillside, overlooking the old city and the valley.
The construction of the first Abbey began with the arrival of Sorus in 560. Looted by the Normans and then destroyed, the church was rebuilt at the end of the IXth Century. During the XIVth Century the Abbey was destroyed again and abandonned more than 100 years. It's at the beginning of the XVth Century that the church was restored and destroyed again by religious war.
The site stayed in ruins during the biggest part of the Century. In 1889, the Abbot Pergot decided to restore the church with population gifts.
Only the gothic portal of the XVIth century and the ramparts of the former abbey are still here.

Hello0,

Quel beau cadrage sur ces remparts, magnigfique vue de bas en haut, de très belle teinte sur les belles pierres et ces lumières sur les haies vertes, avec celui taillé comme un pic, de toute beauté, un très bel ensemble.

Bravo et amitié

Bonjour Karine ,
J'aime beaucoup toutes ces formes géometriques . Et le monument est de toute beauté . La perspective est intéressante , mais je pense qu'il y a peut-être un peu trop de ciel en haut de l'image .
Amicalement
