This century old Neo-Romanesque basilica is known for the spectacular mosaics that grace its interior. The saga that spans Creation to the Final Judgment is depicted in exquisite detail on the interior of the church's domes. Other depictions include the life of the church's patron, King Louis IX of France, and the growth of the Catholic Church. Visit the church's Mosaic Museum as well as the Cathedral Shop.   (© 10Best)
