The Basilica of the Sacred Heart

The Sacre-Coeur Basilica also known as Basilica of the Sacred Heart is a beautiful Roman Catholic church situated at the highest point of the city of Paris.

The Basilica was designed by Paul Abadie, construction began in 1875 and was completed in 1914. The construction was consecrated after the end of World War I in 1919.
