A colourful treasure in Poppy Land. Emerging from Albert, this Basilica is a real surprise, an unexpected mix of Byzantine art, medieval Spain and Italian Renaissance. After the visit, climb to the top of the bell tower for a magical view of the city and the Somme valley
A must-see building in the town of Albert, let yourself be surprised by this basilica. Built by Edmond Duthoit, it offers a remarkable neo-byzantine style on the outside and the charm of neo-byzantine decorations and mosaics and art-deco statues on the inside. At its summit, the statue of the golden virgin, created by the famous Amiens sculptor Albert Roze, overlooks the town of Albert!
