Sion
Cathedral of Sion

Notre-Dame de Sion Cathedral (or Notre-Dame du Glarier) is the main church of the Diocese of Sion. It was built between the end of the 15th and the beginning of the 16th century on the foundations of a Romanesque church (sacked and burned by the Savoyards in 1352), whose 12th-century bell tower has been preserved. The Romanesque church itself had been built on the site of an 8th-century church that was destroyed by fire in 1010 and of which nothing remains.
