The Sacré-Cœur Basilica is one of Paris's most emblematic monuments, enthroned majestically atop the Butte Montmartre. It is the symbolic heart of Montmartre.

It is a Catholic basilica, built between 1875 and 1914, and was consecrated in 1919. In a Romanesque-Byzantine style very different from the Gothic style of Notre-Dame, it is dedicated to the Heart of Christ, as a sign of hope, peace and reconciliation after the trials of the 19th century (the 1870 war and the Paris Commune). It features France's largest mosaic, Christ in Glory, on the apse ceiling.

It's also the highest point in Paris after the Eiffel Tower. Climb the steps or take the Montmartre funicular to get there. The view from the top is magnificent.

It can have a luminous sheen, thanks in particular to the effects of rain on its material, Château-Landon stone.
