About Sacré-Cœur Basilica
Perched atop the hill of Montmartre, the gleaming white Romano-Byzantine basilica of Sacré-Cœur is one of Paris's most recognisable landmarks. Built as a votive offering following France's defeat in the Franco-Prussian War, it has hosted perpetual adoration since 1885 — uninterrupted for over 130 years.
