Sacre- Coeur Basillica, Paris

10 Most

The church Sacre- Coeur Basillica is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Located in Paris it has around 10.5 million visitors annually. The church is designed by Hippolyte Lefebvre and it is surrounded by two bronze statues, the national saints on the either sidewhich are Joan of Arc and King Saint Louis IX. The church is a triple- arched portico. A climb to the dome gives a bird eye view of the entire city. The great bell falls under the category of one of the heaviest bells weighing 19 tons. The bronze altar, the stone used and the entire atmosphere shows takes one back to the times of royalty
