The Church of Notre-Dame de Fourviere stands on the mountainside on the west bank of the Saône River in Lyon. From a distance, the white Notre-Dame church, the Byzantine-style castle towers and pheasants complement the straight decorative spires and the golden statue of the Virgin Mary. . The church was built in 1896. The original site was a Roman square. During the Franco-Prussian War, the people of Lyon built the Notre-Dame church here to pray for victory in the war. Approaching the church, you will find a combination of Byzantine and medieval architectural styles, the outer walls of white marble are strong and straight; the patterned glass that tells the content of the Bible is colorful in the sun; the mosaics in the church are inlaid with frescoes and paintings. Sophisticated and amazing. There is a viewing platform on the left side of the church, which allows you to easily overlook the whole of Lyon.
