Groupe épiscopal, Religious monument in 5th arrondissement of Lyon, France.
The Episcopal Group of Lyon combines several monumental structures, including Saint-Jean Cathedral with its cut stone facades and Gothic flying buttresses.
The Episcopal Group emerged as the primary ecclesiastical center during the 13th century, incorporating elements from previous religious structures dating back to Roman times.
The buildings house museums and exhibitions that display religious artifacts, sacred art collections, and documents pertaining to Lyon's ecclesiastical history.
Multilingual guided tours start from Saint-Jean Cathedral square, offering comprehensive exploration of the architectural complex throughout the week.
Archaeological excavations beneath the Episcopal Group uncover ancient remains that document the continuous evolution of this site over two millennia.
