The monastery of Ganagobie, classified as a Historic Monument, is located on the bank of the Durance, between Peyruis and Lurs, on the plateau crowned with rocks. It is a Clunsian priory founded around the XNUMXth century.
It houses a Romanesque church with a remarkable portal. The apse is paved with a Romanesque mosaic of oriental inspiration. Its cloister is a jewel of Romanesque art from the XNUMXth century.
