Basilique Saint-Joseph-des-Fins, Minor basilica in Annecy, France.
The Saint-Joseph-des-Fins Basilica features modern architectural elements with reinforced concrete vaults covering the central nave and geometric interior decorations.
Construction of the basilica started in 1937 under priest Amédée Folliet's initiative and continued through World War II until its completion in 1941.
The basilica received recognition as a Heritage of the 20th Century, reflecting the architectural innovation and renewal of sacred art during the 1930s.
Visitors can explore the 45-meter-high bell tower and examine the four bells, including the largest one weighing 1800 kilograms.
The basilica houses a Liberty Bell, one of 57 bells cast in Annecy in 1950, which is an exact replica of Philadelphia's Independence symbol.
