Saint-Mary de Colamine Church is a building in the French town of Vodable, in Puy-de-Dôme.[1]

History

[edit]

Located in Sub-Colamine Vodable, Saint-Mary de Colmaine is a small Romanesque church of the 6th century.

The building consists of a nave accompanied by an incomplete south aisle; a transept; a steeple rising above the crossing of the transept; an apse with cut sides whose roof follows the shape of a hemicycle; and a north-facing chapel. The frameless roof is covered with slate. The interior of the transept is covered with a dome resting on small arcades in the trunk, resting on shelves edge decorated with tablets. These tablets are medallions decorated with geometric decorations, foliage, or human heads. The double-aux fall on the capitals carved in the foliage of the columns arranged at the angles.
