Montmartre (París)
Montmartre, which means «mont des martyrs», owes his name to the martyrdom of Saint Dionysus, who was beheaded in this place around the year 250. Saint Dionysus was Bishop of Paris and is the patron saint of France.
It is believed that the religious symbolism of the hill is even older, and it has been suggested that it was a sacred place for druids due to its high location with respect to the rest of the area.
In the middle of the 19th century, many artists moved to live in Montmartre. At the end of the century, Montmartre became one of the main artistic centers of Paris.
