The romanesque church of St. Severus with its two towers was built in the 12th /13th centuries over the Roman baths. The church has a rich architectural construction and very decorative frescoes. Of special interest are the Triumph Cross (13th century), early Christian gravestones and baptismal font (6th century).
The Carmelite Church
- Carmelite Church
The Carmelite Church is Gothic and was built in the 14th century. It has a wealth of treasures, including gravestones and the choir stalls (15th century). That the Carmelite monks honoured Our Lady can be seen in the many illustrations of Mary e.g. the Grape Madonna (outside the church), the Madonna in the Rosary and the Pieta. The former Carmelite monastery is now the Town Hall.
