basilique Saint-Donatien-et-Saint-Rogatien

The Basilique Saint-Donatien-et-Saint-Rogatien is a neogothic minor basilica completed in 1889, standing on the Place des Enfants-Nantais in Nantes' Malakoff-Saint-Donatien district. It is dedicated to the early Christian martyrs Donatian and Rogation — two brothers reportedly executed in Nantes around 304 AD who became the city's patron saints. The building's slender buttresses and pointed tower typify the late 19th-century neogothic revival style. One of only two basilicas in Nantes alongside Saint-Nicolas, it remains an active place of Catholic worship and a quiet landmark on the eastern edge of the city center.
