Culture and History
The present-day Saint-Sernin Church bears the year 1855 above its portal; this may be the year it was built. A statue accompanying the present-day church depicts Saint Sernin, who is also known as Saint Saturnin.
The former Saint-Sernin Church stood in the cemetery and had disappeared by 1902. Medieval shards dating from the 13th and 14th centuries were found in the cemetery of Cazals-des-Baylès.
Coudoumines is considered an ancient rural settlement; ceramic shards dating from the 1st to the 4th century were found in and around the cemetery. Numerous tegulae—rectangular, flat tiles with a raised edge—found in Coudoumines attest to a Gallo-Roman settlement. A fragment of the handle of a wine amphora from Tarraconensis, a Roman province in Spain, was also found there. The Pascual 1 type is dated to approximately 50 BC to AD 50.
