Basilique St-Michel
Constructed in stages between the 14th and 16th centuries, the
Basilique St-Michel is a typical Gothic-style church and the main
place of Catholic worship in Bordeaux. The main distinguishing
feature, the Basilique's tower and spire, which rises to a height
of 374 feet (114m) is considered the highest in the south of
France. At the base of the tower lies an ossuary where an
exhibition of the mummies excavated during the 19th century can be
viewed. Most of the original stained glass was destroyed in World
War II, and has since been replaced by new windows by modernist
artist Max Ingrand.
