TOURIST ATTRACTIONS & SIGHTSEEING, PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Built between 1872 and 1884 by the architect Pierre Bossan, the Basilique de Fourvière, nicknamed the "upside-down elephant" is representative of the eclecticism of the end of the 19th Century. The oriental, symbolic and neo-classical influences (twisted columns and columned porticoes) are mixed with architecture inspired by the medieval-style towers, which creates a shocking fortress church. An observatory offers spectacular views, and under the basilica is a crypt accessible from the esplanade. Guided tours are available.
