About Sacred Heart Basilica
Perched atop the Butte Montmartre, the Sacré-Cœur Basilica is one of Paris's most iconic landmarks. This stunning Romano-Byzantine church, built between 1875 and 1914, was conceived as a symbol of national penance and hope after the Franco-Prussian War. Its gleaming white travertine stone facade, which actually self-cleans with rainwater, gives the basilica its distinctive luminous appearance that dominates the Parisian skyline.

The Sacré-Cœur's distinctive white appearance is due to its Chateau-Landon travertine stone, which secretes calcite when exposed to rain, essentially making the building whiter over time rather than darkening with age like most structures.
