Saint Veran the town with the highest density of sundials in the world, one sundial per nine residents. Among the 36 sundials in Saint Veran, old and new, are six Zarbula sundials of the total of seven he is reported to have painted here. The one on the church has disappeared. These are among his best, excellent examples of his artistic style. The best remain in their original unrestored state. Five were painted in Zarbula's miracle year 1840.
