The Abbey Church of Sainte-Foy in Conques, France, is a remarkable example of Romanesque architecture. Constructed in the 11th and 12th centuries, it is renowned for its stunning tympanum depicting the Last Judgment, an intricate and detailed relief that serves as a powerful visual representation of medieval Christian beliefs. The church was a major stop on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, and it houses the relics of Sainte Foy, a young martyr whose remains are enshrined in a lavish gold reliquary.
