Cluny Abbey: The Lost Holy City of the Middle Ages

This documentary uncovers the lost grandeur of Cluny Abbey in Burgundy, once home to the largest church in all of Christendom. The modest ruins standing today are only a fragment of the vast eleventh-century Maior Ecclesia, an architectural marvel of the medieval age. Through history and reconstruction, the film reveals how this holy city rose to extraordinary power before its decline. Fascinating and evocative, it restores a forgotten wonder of the Middle Ages.
