Abbaye-aux-Hommes, Caen, France
Among the landmarks of the city of Caen in northern France are the romanesque Church of Saint Étienne, to the right in this photograph, and the Abbaye-aux-Hommes (Men’s Abbey), on the left. The abbey, founded by William the Conqueror in the 1060s, was later greatly altered and today serves as the town hall.
