Best Basilica Of Notre Dame De Fourviere Tours from Barcelona

Dedicated to the Virgin Mary, this Neo-Byzantine-style basilica's location atop a hill makes it an imposing feature of the French city of Lyon. Once inside, detailed mosaics, intricate stained glass and exquisite marble greet you. Step onto the terrace in the Chapel of the Virgin and enjoy the views, or climb the almost 300 steps to the basilica observatory and be rewarded with a stunning panorama of Lyon stretched out below. Be sure to visit both churches located inside, the upper one being the more ornately decorated of the two.
