Basilique Saint Quiriace (Saint Quiriace Collegiate Church)
Description
The construction of Saint Quiriace began in the 12th century, but was never completed due to lack of funds under the reign of Philippe le Bel. The grand dome, for which the church is famous, was actually constructed in the 17th century, and at that time, the old families of the 'upper town' of Provins were referred to as the 'children of the dome'. Visible from miles away, the church is lit every evening at dusk and is truly a magnificent sight. A must visit!
