Basilica of St. Michael
I love gothic architecture did you knew about it? The Basilica of St. Michael, Bordeaux, is a Flamboyant Gothic church in Bordeaux, France, built between the end of 14th century and the 16th century. The pulpit represents Saint Michael slaying the dragon. The stained-glass windows were destroyed during the bombardment of 1940. The separate bell tower, which is 114 meters tall, was built in the 15th century. In 1881 a Gallo-Roman cemetery and catacombs were discovered under the tower, with several naturally mummified bodies. The church is a listed historical monument. The tower can be visited every day from April to October. #saintmichael #church #Bordeaux #religion #story #visit #travel #explore #photography #world #heritage #basilica #gothic #architecture #century #France #french #building #monuments #Europe
