The parish church of Romanesque origin (13th century), was dedicated to our Lady of Bethlehem. He is replaced by that of Sainte-Agathe, patron saint of the village. In the seventeenth, the menacing building ruins, began restoration work, which will be supplemented by a larger campaign in 1760 - the Church had been forbidden to worship because deemed too dangerous. One built by a master Mason of Tarascon chorus, the sacristy, the Bell Tower and two chapels (St. Agatha and Virgin).The furniture and decoration are of the nineteenth century: the most notable item is a magnificent historiated XVIITH century marble altar. Acquired in 1793, after the devastation of the Church by the Patriots, he was ranked in 1907, at the request of the parish priest of the time, supported by Mistral. It comes from the Church of the Seminary of Sainte-guard of Avignon. The altarpiece, marble white, illustrated the said episode "pilgrims of Emmaus" described in the Gospel according to St. Luke: the risen christ is on his way two pilgrims desperate by his death and fleeing from Jerusalem. They offer him hospitality without knowing who he is. It is during the meal, when he takes the bread and give it to them that they recognize. It's that last scene is represented here.The Notre-Dame chapel also houses a Black Madonna of Walnut of the XIV °, Notre-Dame-de-Grace. Invoked against cholera in 1854, it is celebrated by a procession on August 28 & 29, remembrance of the miracle that she realized then.
