Saint-Eulalie de Merida was tortured according to the tradition at the beginning of the 9th century under the reign of the Emperor Maximilian, gave her name to our little town of which she is the Saint Patron.

Her Saint Feast Day is on the 10th of December, although contested by some who refer to Saint Eulalie of Barcelona who died at the same period though celebrated on the 12th of February.

However, most historians agreed that the martyre is the same one in those two cases.

Built in the 13th century on the orders of Philippe III Le Hardy, Domme has the most vibrant history of the whole of Perigord. 

Then, the brand new building is used as a prison for 70 templars who carved moving words about their faith on the walls. Under the 17th century hall, there is a 450 m of natural caves that look like an enchanting world to the visitors.
