オーヴェルニュ＝ローヌ＝アルプ地域圏の宗教遺産

Religious Heritage

The Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region preserves a diverse collection of religious sites, from the black volcanic stone of the Gothic Clermont-Ferrand Cathedral to the Romanesque masterworks of Le Puy-en-Velay, a historic starting point for the Camino de Santiago. Highlights include the 19th-century mosaics of Fourvière in Lyon, Le Corbusier’s modernist Saint-Pierre church in Firminy, and the flamboyant Gothic Royal Monastery of Brou. These sites showcase architectural evolution across centuries, featuring the distinctive Auvergne Romanesque style in Brioude and Issoire.
