Sacré Coeur (París, France)
The Sacré-Cœur is a basilica at the top of the hill of Montmartre. The temple, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, was initially conceived as a public monument to pay homage to the memory of the French citizens who had lost their lives during the Franco-Kriman War and to atone for the sins committed by the Paris Commune.
It was the architect Paul Abadie who won the competition for its construction.
The first stone was placed in 1875 and, although it was completed in 1914, it was not consecrated until the end of World War I, in 1919.
