The use of arkose, a clear stone that gives the basilica its blonde tone, is particularly highlighted by the lava stones decor crowning the apse. This play of materials confers on the building a unique aesthetic while emphasizing the virtuosity of the Romanesque artisans.
Notre-Dame-du-Port Basilica is not only a religious monument but also an architectural masterpiece that reflects the expertise and diversity of the XIIth-century craftsmen.
