| 説明 | Nancy (54)Nancy is the prefecture of the northeastern French department of Meurthe-et-Moselle. It was the capital of the Duchy of Lorraine which was annexed by France under King Louis XV in 1766 and replaced by a province with Nancy maintained as capital. Following its rise to prominence in the Age of Enlightenment, it was nicknamed the "capital of Eastern France" in the late 19th century. The metropolitan area of Nancy had a population of 511,257 inhabitants at the 2018 census, making it the 16th-largest functional urban area in France and Lorraine's largest. The population of the city of Nancy proper is 104,885.The motto of the city is Non inultus premor, Latin for '"I am not injured unavenged"'—a reference to the thistle, which is a symbol of Lorraine. Place Stanislas, a large square built between 1752 and 1756 by architect Emmanuel Héré under the direction of Stanislaus I of Poland to link the medieval old town of Nancy and the new city built under Charles III, Duke of Lorraine in the 17th century, is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the first square in France to be given this distinction. The city also has many buildings listed as historical monuments and is one of the European centres of Art Nouveau thanks to the École de Nancy. Nancy is also a large university city; with the Centre Hospitalier Régional Universitaire de Brabois, the conurbation is home to one of the main health centres in Europe, renowned for its innovations in surgical robotics.Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy,_FranceThe Basilica of Saint-Epvre is a Roman Catholic church. The church in the Diocese of Nancy-Toul is dedicated to Saint Aper, Bishop of Toul, whose relics are kept in a shrine on the high altar, and holds the title of minor basilica and monument historique.The original church was demolished in 1863, the bell tower which was to be integrated into the new church only survived it for a few years.The current church was built according to plans by Prosper Morey in neo-Gothic style, which allowed a very good integration into the historic center of Nancy. The cornerstone was laid in May 1864. Pastor Joseph Trouillet was very active in raising donations, as was the case with Napoleon III. The church was consecrated in 1871. On November 26, 1874, the Church received from Pope Pius IX. awarded the title of minor basilica.The church was designed in the form of a three-aisled basilica on a Latin cross plan.
