Saint-Bénigne, Dijon

From the early eleventh century, Burgundy possessed monuments of the first importance. The abbey church of Saint-Bénigne in Dijon played a large part in the flowering of the Romanesque apse during the first two decades of the century. It has some magnificent capitals decorated with complicated monsters accompanying corner masks and figures.
