This is an important basilica built over the tomb of St. Martin, the patron saint of Tours. We passed by while in the city recently and found this to be an interesting church to visit. Interestingly, the basilica history seems to have begun in the 5th century. However, the present building that you see was only constructed between 1886 and 1924 replacing the earlier medieval building that was demolished during the French Revolution. It is Neo-Byzantine in architectural style which would have been different to the Gothic features of the earlier church. The exterior and facade that can be seen today is fine, the interior nice to view as well. It includes a latin cross layout, modest decor and a crypt where you can see the tomb of St. Martin.

Unbelievable. This church is meant to be an amazing church that is loved by. christians all around the world but the people here was so rude. They constantly made jokes againt the religion and even started taking the name of the lord god in vain.

The interrior and exterior of the church was amazing but the people weren't. This really ruined my experience and I definitely will not...
