About Basilica of Fourvière

The Basilica of Fourvière, located in Lyon, is an emblematic monument of the city, perched on the hill of Fourvière. Built between 1872 and 1884, it is a striking example of Neo-Byzantine architecture and offers a spectacular panoramic view of Lyon.

The basilica is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, who is considered the protector of the city. It is adorned with mosaics, sculptures, and frescoes that reflect its rich artistic heritage. The site also includes a crypt, which is less known but equally impressive.

The location is not only a religious site but also a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors for its majestic architecture and history. The surrounding gardens and the ascent from Old Lyon add to the charm of this visit.

The Basilica of Fourvière is often associated with the Festival of Lights, an annual celebration where residents illuminate their windows in honor of the Virgin. It is a place that symbolizes the identity and history of Lyon.
