Basilique Notre-Dame-de-la-Victoire, Minor basilica in Saint-Raphaël, France
The Notre-Dame-de-la-Victoire basilica displays Romanesque Revival and Byzantine Revival architectural elements, featuring detailed mosaics, stained glass windows, and a central dome.
Constructed between 1883 and 1887 under Father Louis Bernard's direction, the basilica received its name to commemorate the 1571 naval battle of Lepanto.
