Originally a small Gallo-Roman town built on the Montjoie promontory and bordered by the Hourride and the Garonne, Cazères appears in history in the medieval period. A first church was then erected there[2]. Successively dependent on the house of Comminges then the county of Toulouse, Cazères came under the house of Foix in the 14th century, then led by Gaston Phœbus. The town suffered during this period from troubles and wars that ravaged their region. Thus, in 1355, the primitive church was destroyed by the English troops of the Black Prince[2]. From the end of the 14th century, the construction of a new church was launched, which would bear the title Notre-Dame and have Saint Quitterie as its patron saint. In the 18th century, the church had the reputation of being the best adorned in the diocese of Rieux. During the Revolution, it was mutilated and stripped of its spires and chapels. It was not until 1888 that its facade was restored by the architect H. d'Espouy, who designed the two octagonal towers between which stands the Virgin of the Assumption.
