Basilique de Fourvière in Lyon

[golympio]

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to share these here pictures of the Basilica of Fourvière in Lyon, it was made in honour of Holy Mary after it was believed she saved the city from the plague in the 17th century, and it was finally built in the state it is now in the end of the 19th century.







You can gaze at the city from the platform just outside:

Thanks, it was quite tricky to get both planes in focus so I had to use Photomerge in Photoshop.
