The facade of Notre-Dame de Fourvière in Lyon. An eclectic mix of Romanesque and Byzantine Revival styles, with subtle Gothic influences.

I love how it combines Romanesque strength with Byzantine ornamentation and subtle Gothic touches. The four octagonal towers really give it a unique presence over the city. Built between 1872 and 1896 by architect Pierre Bossan.
