A majestic monument in Baroque style, this collegiate church was designed by architect Jean-Baptiste Franque (1734-1744). The church, with its impressive convex façade and exemplary stereotomy, is built on a Latin cross plan. Its high dome on pendants, at the crossing of the transept, rises to almost 30 meters. A Romanesque frieze (12th and 13th century), incorporated into the east wall of the bell tower, is the only vestige of the ancient Romanesque church. It represents the Last Supper. It is also possible to notice a rich furniture in marble marquetry: high altar, pulpit, baptismal fonts, made by the workshop of Dominique Fossaty of Marseille.
