Stars of Sion

The Valère basilica is a fortified church in Sion, the capital of the canton of Valais, Switzerland. It is located on a hill above the town and faces the Château de Tourbillon on the opposite hill.

 

The first parts of the church were built between 1100 and 1130 in the Romanesque style. It was expanded and changed to the Gothic style in several steps between 1235 and 1435. The organ on the west side of the Valère basilica was installed during the last step in 1435 and is one of the oldest functioning organs in the world.
