The story

Wikipedia ↗

Story · Basilique Saint-Martin

You're standing at the Basilica of Saint Martin in Tours. Take a look at that dome and those rounded arches. This isn't the Gothic church you might expect in France. Architect Victor Laloux deliberately went for a blend of Romanesque and Byzantine instead. He worked on it from 1886 to 1925.
