church, basilica
The basilica of Notre-Dame de la Daurade is built on the site of a pagan temple and a Benedictine monastery. On becoming a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary, it was covered in small pieces of mosaic fixed to a background of gold leaf, whence its name "Deaurata", meaning covered in gold.
The present building dates from the XVIIIth century. This church with a single nave flanked by chapels is home to an astonishing Black Virgin which is still venerated by visitors. www.uk.toulouse-tourisme.com/sights-and-visits-notre-da...
