Basilique Saint-Martin de Tours
📍 France
Basilique Saint-Martin de Tours features neo-Byzantine architecture and was constructed between 1886 and 1924. It stands on the site of earlier churches, housing the tomb of Saint Martin of Tours, an important Christian figure. The basilica's crypt offers a serene atmosphere for contemplation and photography of Saint Martin's relics. Be sure to capture the exquisite stained glass windows, which depict scenes from Saint Martin's life with vibrant colors. Less known to many visitors, the nearby Charlemagne Tower and Clocher de l’Horloge are remnants of the medieval complex, providing unique angles for photography. Morning or late afternoon offers the best natural lighting to enhance the basilica's intricate façade details.
