Sacre-Coeur Basilica

The Sacré-Cœur Basilica is a prominent Roman Catholic church located at the highest point in Paris, atop Montmartre hill. Completed in 1914, its distinctive white dome and Romanesque-Byzantine architecture make it a symbol of the city. The basilica features intricate mosaics, a peaceful basilica interior, and offers panoramic views of Paris from its dome. Originally built as an act of penance after the Franco-Prussian War and the Paris Commune, it now functions as a place of worship, a major tourist attraction, and a cultural landmark emphasizing faith, art, and history.
