Place de Fourvière, 69005 Lyon - 5e Arrondissement · Quartier Fourvière, LYON, France
The design of the basilica, by Pierre Bossan, draws from both Romanesque and Byzantine architecture, two non-Gothic models that were unusual choices at the time.
It has four main towers, and a belltower topped with a gilded statue of the Virgin Mary.
It features fine mosaics, superb stained glass, and a crypt of Saint Joseph. Fourvière actually contains two churches, one on top of the other. The upper sanctuary is very ornate, while the lower is a much simpler design.
