Origin and history

The church Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul de Fargues is a religious monument located in the commune of Porte-du-Quercy in the Occitanie region. The available data do not specify its period of construction or its architectural style, but its name suggests a double dedication to the apostles Peter and Paul, frequent in medieval or modern churches. Parish churches like Fargues played a central role in the lives of rural communities.
