Torre poligonal / Polygon tower
Aquest és el campanar de l'antiga catedral de Sent Liser. Aquest estil constructiu és molt caracteristic del romanic del entorn tolosà.
La vila de Sent Líser (Saint Lizier en francès) es troba en un puig sobre el riu Salat, just al nord de St. Girons. Té la particularitat de comptar amb no una, sino DUES ex-catedrals. Aquesta és una de les dues, l'altra es troba al cim del nucli antic, i s'anomena N. D. de la Sède. Una cosa molt complicada de legalisme canonic medieval. Sembla que va tenir un sol bisbe però amb dos capitols catedralicis separats. En fi.

=============================================
A view of the romanesque bell-tower of the former cathedral of St. Lizier. This style of tower is quite usual in the Garonne basin.
Saint Lizier (Sent Líser in occitan) is nice old village above the Salat river. It has the really unusual detail of having TWO former cathedrals. I can't really understand what happened, but it seems that in the middle ages it was the seat of a bishop, but with two cathedrals, and all was abolished during the French Revolution. The other (former) cathedral is known as N. D. de-la-Sède.
