Classified as an Historical Monument in 1841, The Church Sainte-Foy, built in the heart of the historical capital of Bearn, shows very impressive carved capitals in the choir like the Beheading of Sainte Foy and the Piton de Jaca, an architectural motif reproduced on the pilgrimage roads. Original stones of the Romanesque portal, which had been renovated in the 19th century, are exhibited at the Office of Tourism. The original of the remarkable tympanum can be seen in the chapel of the Bienheureux Bernard. Ten stained glass windows have been done by Mauméjean (1869).
