The Cathedral is nearly 8 centuries old and took long to construct. It looks great in the interior architecture, with lovely paintings on the glass all around. It is not crowded during the afternoon, and one could come and have a peaceful time here remembering the Saviour.

Its magnificent facade and intricate details are a testament to the skill of its builders.

Whether you're drawn to its spiritual significance or its architectural grandeur, the Lyon Cathedral is a place of beauty, history, and contemplation. ?⛪?

Very tranquil I went early morning not a great number of people. Interesting clock read other contributors. Truthfully I've been to more decorative Cathedrals however found this one interesting.

The origins of this cathedral go back to the 12th century when it was built in the place of three smaller churches and a cloister. It was fascinating to see a huge astronomical clockwork that, at the time I visited, was out of order. There were beautiful stained glass windows and more interesting details.

For me, was the first time to see a double decker church with a classic catholic architecture. This can be visited via funicular or hiking, I recommend both. When reached, it offer an impressive overview of Lyon city.
