FR La chapelle St Symphorien, édifice du plus pur style roman provencal du XII° s. à son apogée.

Elle est située à l'ouest du village, prés du jardin archéologique. L'intérieur d'une extrême sobriété est caractérisé par un chœur en cul de four, comprenant 6 colonnettes à fûts lisses couronnées d'élégants chapiteaux.

Première église de Caumont, elle a perdu sa fonction d'église paroissiale au XIV° s. du fait que son implantation excentrée rendait dangereuse sa fréquentation en raison de l'insécurité ambiante de l'époque.
