Basilica of Notre Dame de Fourviere

Basilique Notre-Dame de Fourviere
France, Lyon
The four-tower Basilica of Notre-Dame-de-Fourviere was built with private donations at the end of the 19th century on the top of the Fourvière hill. Its upper temple was consecrated in honor of the Virgin Mary; The lower church of the basilica was consecrated in honor of St. Joseph. Nearby is the chapel tower, preserved from the ruined medieval church, with a gilded statue of the Virgin Mary, installed in 1843 on the tower, in honor of the bicentenary of the deliverance from the plague epidemic.
Not far from the basilica is a tall metal structure, a replica of the third floor of the Eiffel Tower.
As part of the historic center of Lyon, the Basilica of Notre Dame de Fourviere was inscribed on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List in 1998.

Thanks to the high hill of Fourviere, this basilica can be seen from almost anywhere in Lyon. It is difficult to climb, so I advise you to use the funicular, but you can go down on foot, visiting the rose garden and the ancient Roman ruins of the ancient amphitheater, located nearby, at the foot of the basilica. Right next to the Cathedral there is a large observation deck that offers a magnificent view of Lyon, especially in sunny, clear weather. The temple itself is incredibly beautiful! It is beautiful on the outside, but even more beautiful on the inside.
