The church is isolated on a small square. This singularity highlights a building which, originally, was certainly a Roman temple. Then a first parish church was built in the 5th century. Totally ruined in the 8th century, it was rebuilt and modified between the 10th and 15th centuries. Its furnishings have also changed a lot: first it had a Romanesque marble altar (left in the Petit Séminaire de Celleneuve), then a tabernacle from the 18th century, white marble from chapels in Béziers...
The Church of St. Cornelius and St. Cyprian of Sauvian also has an ancient necropolis in the basement.
