Info Basilica of Our Lady of the Daurade, Toulouse, France. The first church in this location was established in 410 when Emperor Honorius allowed the conversion of pagan temples to Christianity. The original building of Notre-Dame de la Daurade was a temple dedicated to Apollo. During the 5th or 6th century another church was erected, decorated with golden mosaics; the current name derives from the antique name, (“Deaurata”, gold). It became a Benedictine monastery during the 9th century. After a period of decline starting in the 15th century, the basilica was demolished in 1761 to make way for the construction of Toulouse's riverside quays. The buildings were restored and a new church built, but the monastery was closed during the French Revolution, becoming a tobacco factory. The basilica had housed the shrine of a Black Madonna. The original icon was stolen in the fifteenth century, and its first replacement was burned by Revolutionaries in 1799 on the Place du Capitole. The icon presented today is an 1807 copy of the fifteenth century Madonna. Blackened by the hosts of candles, the second Madonna has been known since the sixteenth century as Notre Dame La Noire. The current edifice was built during the 19th century. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 20:47, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
Support -- Poco a poco (talk) 20:47, 19 February 2024 (UTC)- Support The gentle, and warm light, the pastel ceiling, the filigree patterns, and the regularity of the architecture are masterfully captured. -- Radomianin (talk) 21:38, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- Support This is a good benchmark for others' nominations of church interiors. Charlesjsharp (talk) — Preceding undated comment was added at 21:40, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- Support Little sharpness on the edges as is usual in a wide angle. Maybe one day you want to use nodal heads and then join the photos, this is not a request but a personal wish. --Wilfredor (talk) 22:27, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- I've a Ninja pano head for a long time and have done things like this one in the past, but that's not always and everywhere posible. Poco a poco (talk) 22:50, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, especially when there are a lot of people inside the church, it is easier to do a single unified shot to eliminate the ghosts than to eliminate ghosts for each frame, a nightmare Wilfredor (talk) 23:16, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

- Support the basilica is wonderful since the restoraion work done in 2019. It used to be really black before. You captured it quite well, even if it feels the yellows are a bit oversaturated to what I remembered. --PierreSelim (talk) 15:32, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
