The Basilica Sacré-Coeur is one of the most famous churches in France, located in Paris, on the Montmartre hill, which is the highest point in Paris. It was built in Romano-Byzantine style and is very similar to the famous Hagia Sophia Cathedral in Istanbul.
One of the main features of the Sacré-Coeur Basilica is the huge mosaic depicting Jesus. The triple arched portico is topped by two bronze equestrian statues of French national saints, Joan of Arc and King Louis IX the Saint, created by Hippolyte Lefebvre. The cathedral bell is one of the heaviest in the world, weighing 19 tonnes. The dome offers a beautiful panoramic view of Paris.
The place where the basilica stands is traditionally associated with the beheading of the patron saint of the city, Saint-Denis, in the 3rd century.
