Located in the heart of the pedestrianized streets of the business district of Lausanne, Saint Laurent Basilica is a historic church that dates back to 1716 and 1719, and is thus one of the oldest and most ancient churches of the city. The church was distinguished by a unique and distinctive architectural design that includes a bell tower and fluted columns supporting a circular arch in a style of strong reliefs, giving the place the atmosphere of religious ceremonies. Today, the church is one of the most important historical tourist attractions in the country.
