Basilique de Fourvière

5_2Built between 1872 and 1884. The oriental and neo-classic influences (twisted columns and columned porticas) are mixed with architecture inspired by the medieval style machicolated towers, which creates a fortress church. An observatory offers amazing views, and under the basilica you will find a crypt, accessible from the esplanade. Just INCREDIBLE,. definetly the Basilique de Fourviére deserves your attention.
