1875 : Laying of the foundation stone, and then several months work on the foundations : underpinning pits 33 meters deep are needed. Filled up, they become the pillars on which the edifice rests. Without these pillars, the Basilica would sink into the clay. 1878 : Work begins on the crypt 1881 : Work begins on the Basilica itself 1914 : All is ready for the consecration including the tower containing the "Savoyarde" a 19 tons bell. 1919 : Consecration on the 16th of October 1919 | ||
