Basilica of St. Urbain, Gothic basilica in Troyes, France
The Saint-Urbain Basilica features tall stone vaults, pointed arches, and large stained glass windows that illuminate the central nave and transept.
Pope Urban IV commissioned this church in 1262 on the site of his childhood home, with construction extending through multiple centuries due to funding issues.
The interior walls display medieval stained glass panels depicting biblical narratives and religious scenes from the 13th century craftsmanship traditions.
The basilica opens daily for visitors, with guided tours available to explore the architectural elements and religious artifacts throughout the structure.
The church's radiating Gothic design incorporates perforated flying buttresses and thin stone supports that create an exceptionally light structural framework.
