Saint Jean-Baptiste Church

Saint Jean-Baptiste Church à Array © Createur d'images 3

The first church built in Morand dates back to the 12th century, but it is highly possible that a chapel was built before that, during the creation of "Villa Moranni" (Morand) in the 11th century.
The facade of the church dates back to the 15th century, when the building was redesigned. The bell tower is composed of a spire made of frame covered with slates. It rests on the ridge of the nave which is covered with flat tiles. The juxtaposition of the slate and the tiles makes the building astonishing.
