Basilique du Sacré-Cœur

The Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, or Basilica of the Sacred Heart, is a prominent Roman Catholic church located on Montmartre hill in Paris, France. Completed in 1914, it features a distinctive white domed structure made of travertine stone, which gives it a bright appearance. The basilica is known for its stunning mosaics, particularly "Christ in Glory," and offers panoramic views of Paris from its dome. It serves both as a place of worship and a popular tourist attraction, symbolizing hope and community, particularly after France’s struggles in the Franco-Prussian War.
