The Benedictine Abbey of Vézelay was founded in the 9th century and soon after it received the relics of St. Mary Magdalene, it has been an important place of pilgrimage. St. Bernard preached the Second Crusade here in 1146, Richard the Lionheart and Philip II Augustus met here, and they set out for the Third Crusade in 1190. The Madeleine Church of Vézelay, a 12th-century abbey church with carved capitals and porches, is a masterpiece of Burgundian Romanesque art and architecture.
