Abstract
The author discusses the origin and the reuse of antique white marble in medieval architecture of Catalonia and Mediterranean Languedoc. The main emphasis is on the Roussillon area and its close neighbourhood, where reused marble material, considered to be made of Carrara marble, was namely attributed to the Capitol of ancient Narbonne. In the light of new research, the author re-examines the origin of material in question, mostly through the analysis of preserved sculptural fragments - fragment of the chancel screen kept in the church of Saint-Saturnin of Pézilla-la-Rivière; fragment of the main altar from the church of Saint-Michel-de-Cuxa and the baptismal font of the cathedral of Saint Jean of Perpignan.
