Intriguingly, this image offers a glimpse into the creative minds of these talented architects as they present their visionary plans for the basilica. Each design is meticulously detailed, showcasing towering structures with domes that reach towards the heavens. The engraving highlights every intricate element, from ornate towers to carefully crafted facades. The significance of this competition becomes even more apparent when considering that Paul Abadie emerged victorious among 77 other architects.
