Notre ? Dame Basilica ? Interior by aliante1981
The interior of the basilica of Notre-Dame is no less impressive and luxurious than the exterior one sees. In fact, if possible, it?s even more so. So, if you had any doubts that Lyon was a prosperous city, the mere sight of the interior of the basilica should get you ride of them forever:))) Why? Not for nothing! Simply because from floor to ceiling, you can find gilded decorations everywhere in this basilica. Yes, folks, pure gold! One of the most lavishly decorated churches I ever saw, too.
It somewhat reminded me of my homeland ? Russia. A lot of gold, too, and paintings. Of all Russian churches, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow comes in mind as the closest comparison.
