Church of Saint Quentin, Tournai: Interior, nave looking towards ambulatory

Located at one end of the Grand Place, its origin is probably linked to the vast Gallo-Roman cemetery which extended over the site of the Grand Place and a nearby neighborhood. The nave dates from the late twelfth century. Two circular chapels, including one that houses the tomb of Jacques Castaigne (1327), are housed in the angles between the nave and transept. The transept and choir with vaulted arches belong to the transition between Romanesque and Gothic. The tower also dates from the thirteenth century and is decorated with a double triforium. The choir was surrounded by an ambulatory and several chapels in 1464. It is enclosed by a rood screen of marble from the seventeenth century.
