Tours - Basilique Saint-Martin

The Basilica of St. Martin was erected over St. Martin´s tomb. It was built between 1886 and 1924 by French architect Victor Laloux in a neo-Byzantine style.

It replaced the huge medieval church, where the shrine was a center of pilgrimage
and a major halt for all on their way to Santiago

This church was abandoned and vandalized during the Revolution and demolished
after the vaults were collapsed in 1797.
