The basilica was originally consecrated by Archbishop Alfonso V of Toulouse in 1060, on the site where a chapel had been built on the side of a hill in honour to Saint Sernin (a bishop who died around 580). A crypt dug under the church contains his remains and those two other early bishops, as well as two other bishops from the 7th century.
