Brioude - Saint-Julien

The Basilica Saint-Julien in Brioude was a collegiate church once, constructed between 1100 - 1180.

Standing in the nave, looking to the choir. Two aisles are on the sides. The total length of the basilica
is 74m. The nave is 5,50m wide, but about 22m high, what creates the impression, that the nave is so "stretched".

All of the rather massive pillars have carved capitals and some of the pillar still have old frescos.
