Toulouse Tour - Basilique St-Sernin

This Basilica for Saint Sernin was started in the 11th century and completed in the 14th century. One half was built more with stone because the church was wealthier at the start, but it was finished with brick on the other half because the church had less money when construction was picked up again in the 13th century.



As a side note, this place is an important stop on one of the larger pilgrimages across Europe.
