The defensive-looking church was built in the 13th -15th. It was replaced by a Romanesque predecessor, which was destroyed in 1209 along with the entire city.. Northern French crusaders then captured Beziers and destroyed it, killing most of its population.. <9> The church has a plaque commemorating these events.. The construction of the Canal du Midi brought Beziers great economic importance as a wine trading center.. On the Alle Paul-Riquet a monument commemorates the great builder of the canal.. Not far from the avenue, there are notable buildings of the 19th century, such as the Théâtre Municipal building and the Hôtel Fayet with the collections of the Musée des Beaux-Arts.. <9>
