BASILIQUE NOTRE-DAME

Churches cathedrals basilicas and chapels

This basilica is the main sanctuary of the city's Roman Catholic Church. It was built between 1852 and 1857 on the bastion of Cornavin. It is inspired by the great Gothic cathedrals of the 13th century, such as those of Beauvais or Amiens. It is however built in molasse. Inside, you can admire, in the central chapel of the ambulatory, a statue of the Virgin, offered to the Catholics of the city in 1860 by Pope Pius IX. It is a stage of the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.
