The Saint-Michel d?Aiguilhe Chapel is located in the French commune of Aiguilhe, north of the village of Le Puy-en-Velay. It stands on top of an 82-meter volcanic hill and is one of the most important historic Romanesque Catholic chapels. Dedicated to San Michele, this chapel is believed to have come about in 950 by one of the first pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela. The construction was initiated by Bishop Gotescalco, who laid the first stone in 962.

The volcanic core is 269 feet high, and the tiny pad at the top is just 187 feet in diameter. It can be reached via 268 stone steps that wind up the side
