T he crowning achievement in one of Paris' most interesting and on-again-off-again fashionable districts, the Sacred Heart Basilica is loved by the people on Montmarte perhaps more than the Cathedral of Notre Dame below. It was conceived as a symbol of thanksgiving at the end of the Franco-Prussian War. People from all over the country donated what they could to have it built, but it wasn't enough, and the government took over funding a few years into the project. Though it was completed in 1914, it wasn't until after the first World War in 1919 that the church was actually consecrated. Its architect died when the building was nothing more than a foundation.

One of my favourite Parisian structures, has an aura of it's own rising above Monmartre. Beautiful.

Even more impressive in person than in the movie Amelie.
