    Beautiful interior!

    Hiking

    The Notre-Dame de Fourvière Basilica, built between 1872 and 1884, is an emblematic symbol of Lyon. It combines elements of Romanesque and Byzantine architecture, and offers a spectacular panoramic view of the city from Fourvière hill. The interior is richly decorated with mosaics, stained glass windows and sculptures.

    Hiking

    Visible from afar, the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière towers over Lyon on the summit of the Fourvière mountain. Easily recognizable by its four towers and the golden statue of the Virgin Mary.
    It stands on the exact site of the old Forum Trajan, where the first Archbishop of Lyon, Saint Pothin, suffered his martyrdom. Just like the historic old town, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
