church of St See also:Paul or St Austremoine built on the site of an older See also:chapel raised over the See also:tomb of St Austremoine (Stremonius) affords an excellent specimen of the Romanesque See also:architecture of See also:Auvergne. Issoire is the seat of a sub-See also:prefect; its public institutions include tribunals of first instance and See also:commerce and a communal See also:college. See also:Brewing, See also:wool-See also:carding and the manufacture of passementerie, candles, See also:straw hats and woollen goods are carried on.

Issoire (Iciodurum) is said to have been founded by the See also:Arverni, and in See also:Roman times See also:rose to some reputation for its See also:schools. In the 5th See also:century the See also:Christian community established there by Stremonius in the 3rd century was overthrown by the fury of the See also:Vandals. During the religious See also:wars of the See also:Reformation, Issoire suffered very severely. Merle, the See also:leader of the Protestants, captured the town in 1574, and treated the inhabitants with See also:great See also:cruelty. The Roman Catholics retook it in 1577, and the ferocity of their See also:retaliation may be inferred from the inscription " See also:Ici fut Issoire " carved on a See also:pillar which was raised on the site of the town.
