Basilica of Sacré-Cœur

Perched at an altitude of 130 metres (one of the highest points in Paris), the basilica is easily recognisable by its white colour and its Roman-Byzantine style. It is both a political and cultural monument, whose origins date back to the end of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. It was consecrated in 1919. Its ceiling is adorned with the largest mosaic in France (480 m²). Outside, there is a breathtaking view across Paris.
