Collégiale Notre-Dame-et-Saint-Nicolas de Briançon, 18th-century parish church in Briançon, France
The Notre-Dame-et-Saint-Nicolas collegiate church features a symmetrical facade with two square towers decorated with sundials and a two-level central section.
Built between 1705 and 1718 following Vauban's plans after the previous church was destroyed during the War of the League of Augsburg in 1692.
The interior elevations include Tuscan-style elements made of dark marble, with an entablature framing the nave and choir.
Located at 28 Avenue Vauban, the building is undergoing a twenty-year restoration program that began in 2017.
The church towers are topped with imperial roofs covered in zinc, except for the octagonal lanterns that crown them.
