One of the most scenic places in Paris is the Sacre Coeur Basilica which is located in Montmartre. Do you know how much it costs to enter and what are the times to enter and take your photo of the heart in Paris?
La Sacred Heart Basilica it is that white shape that can be seen in every postcard or image of Montmartre. After Eiffel Tower it is the highest place in the city. The Sacred Heart it was inaugurated with great pomp, but snubbed by the inhabitants of Montmartre who continued to go to mass at the church of Saint Pierre, one of the oldest in Paris.
The construction, which began in 1875, included a Romanesque-Byzantine style but saw several changes in the project. While in the rest of France basilicas dedicated to Our Lady were built this was thethe only church dedicated to Jesus. The works ended in 1920.
The Basilica of the Sacred Heart is also one of the most beautiful viewpoints of the French city, a place where young people gather to spend some time together, have an evening or simply have a drink. In Montmartre and the Sacré-Coeur Basilica, the best thing to do is take pictures. But I'm not saying that to say. From up here i sunsets are a wonderful thing, so much so that you would never stop taking pictures of Paris from above.
The architect in charge of building the Basilica of the Sacred Heart had precise indications, to build a pilgrimage site intended to accommodate many faithful, which is why its entrance is so large and has over 237 steps.
From below the Basilica is impressive and wonderful. As you climb up to the top you will realize how much bigger it is than you saw from below. To go up to the top of the Montmartre hill and then to the Sacré-Coeur Basilica, you can walk all the way up the steps, or take the funivia which has the cost of a normal metro or bus ticket. If you already have it with you you can stamp that directly, otherwise you can also do it on the spot.
From the main bell tower you can enjoy a wonderful view over Paris. When the sky is clear you can see up to 50 km away. Although never officially recognized by the church, many believe that the Heart of Jesus is kept in the crypt, hence the name. Behind the altar there is one of the largest mosaics in the world which depicts him as he opens his arms wide. Information for the visit
