Couvent des Jacobins

The Jacobins church is the subject of many mysteries: a monastery founded in the 14th century and inhabited by Dominican friars, it was devastated during the Wars of Religion and completed during the Revolution. Take a look at the Gothic church and its remarkable vaults, now undergoing restoration: legend has it that underneath lies the tomb of Matteo Bandello, the original writer of Romeo and Juliet, as well as his formidable treasure... Although many have excavated the site, no one has ever laid hands on it.
