Eglise Saint-Georges

The small Ciron church, formerly belonging to the Ruffecis Priory, is tucked in a nice shady square and features the most beautiful 12th century lantern of the dead that can be seen in Berry. It has a single nave covered by a pointed barrel vault, a straight bay choir forming a base for the bell tower and a flat apse. In the nave, two beautiful capitals face each other: the Temptation (north) and the Crucifixion (south) from symbolism opposing the Fall and Salvation. On the pointed arch gate, there are beautiful capitals with bird, foliage and fruit motifs.
