The Saint-Michel-Archange de Menton basilica is located on Place de l'Eglise in Menton, in the Alpes-Maritimes, between Monaco and the Italian border. It was built in the Baroque style, typical of the region, starting in 1619 under the direction of a Genoese architect, Laurent Lavagna, and the current facade was completed in 1819. Its construction was decided by Prince Honor'e of Monaco. It is a Catholic parish church in the heart of Menton the historic center. The basilica, consisting of three naves, houses a high altar in polychrome marble from the 18th century. With many chapels, the interior of the basilica still has several notable paintings. A statue of Saint Michael the Archangel stepping on the Devil, this statue, from 1820, is of gilded painted wood. A pulpit from 1652 positioned over a Tuscan column and an Italian organ made in 1666. Accessible from the waterfront by majestic stairs, the church was elevated to the status of a basilica by decree of Pope John Paul II in 1999. Also noteworthy is the magnificent and unique square of stone paved, in Provence style, completely renovated in 2006. This is the place where the classical music festival is held in August. It is also located in this square La Chapelle des P'enitents-Blancs which can be seen in this panorama.
