By Seeker
The Church of Saint-Arige-et-Saint-Vincent-de-Saragosse de Péone, located in the picturesque municipality of Péone in the Alpes-Maritimes region of France, is a remarkable Catholic church with a rich history dating back to the 11th century. Originally built in the medieval period, it underwent significant transformation in 1761 under the guidance of architect Pietro Antonio Santo Bartolomeo. Visitors can admire the Baroque interior, complete with intricate stucco work, altarpieces, and paintings, while also noting historical elements such as a 1550 engraved lintel and ogive arches from the earlier structure. The church's unique Greek cross plan and striking hexagonal cupola make it a notable landmark, officially recognized as a monument historique since 1948.
