A city developed around it, where, in 988, was founded an important abbey which extended over a large part of Gascony. In that monastery was illuminated the Apocalypse manuscript in the 11th century.  In the 13th century, another brick monastery, its church with a unique nave, whose visible framework has the shape of a turned over ship keel, was erected outside the fortifications.
