Sacré-Cœur Basilica (Basilica of the Sacred Heart)
Sacré-Cœur Basilica is a prominent Roman Catholic church located at the highest point in Paris, on Montmartre Hill. Built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, its distinctive white domes and Romano-Byzantine architecture make it a striking landmark. The basilica was constructed as a symbol of hope and penitence after conflicts like the Franco-Prussian War. Inside, it features beautiful mosaics, stained glass windows, and a panoramic view of Paris from its dome. It functions as a place of worship, pilgrimage, and a popular tourist destination offering both spiritual and cultural experiences.
