Photos: Cluny Abbey, Cluny

This gallery of 117 photos accompanies our article on Cluny Abbey in Cluny, Burgundy, France. In the Middle Ages, Cluny was the center of a major monastic movement. Its church was the largest Christian building in the world until St. Peter's was rebuilt in the 16th century. All photos marked © Sacred Destinations are available for licensing.
