7Sacré-Cœur Basilica

Perched atop Montmartre, the Sacré-Cœur Basilica is a beautiful example of Romano-Byzantine architecture. Completed in 1914, its white travertine exterior and domes are visible from across the city.

The interior features one of the largest mosaics in the world, depicting Christ with outstretched arms, symbolizing peace and redemption. Sacré-Cœur is also a place of pilgrimage and worship, where visitors can soak in the serene ambiance and enjoy one of the best views of Paris from its steps.
