It is indeed the largest clear square without any patches of greenery, trees or any other kind of obstacles in entire Europe.

Constructed between 1956 and 1960, La Tourette is deemed to be one of the most important buildings of the late Modernist style. The Basilica Notre-Dame de Fourvière is a World Heritage site in Lyon, the sight of which is mesmerizing.
