The Cathedral of Sainte Foy (Faith) was built from 1087 – 1107 A.D. The ornate header above the entrance tells the story of the execution of Faith of Agen, the young girl that tended to the poor and marginalized Christians. She was tortured and burned alive for her Christian faith around 303 A.D. Her relics were brought to Conques in 866 and still reside in the cathedral.
