Basilique Sainte-Clotilde de Reims, Minor basilica in Reims, France

The Neo-Byzantine basilica features a Greek cross layout with a central dome and incorporates architectural elements from Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome.

Architect Alphonse Gosset constructed the basilica between 1896 and 1905 to commemorate the 1400th anniversary of King Clovis's baptism.

The basilica preserves 2000 religious relics of French saints, stored within 120 different shrines located in the underground crypt.

Visitors can access the basilica during July and August on Sunday afternoons, as well as during Heritage Days events.

In 2012, a fire damaged 350 square meters of the roof during repair works, leading to extensive restoration completed in 2016.
