Review:
Seated atop a steep incline at the heart of Montmartre,Sacre-Coeur is a basilica that offers majestic views both indoors and out. Consecrated in 1919, Sacré Coeur sits on ancient hallowed ground. Since the time of the ancient druids this hill, which offers sweeping views of Paris, has been a place of worship. Visitors who enter through the portico of this center of worship and gaze upward toward the dome will be moved by this ancient heart of the city. Every centimeter of the sloping arches is decorated with a 1923 mosaic of "Christ in Glory," in a perfect stylistic echo of the basilica itself. Besides enjoying its architectural splendor, visitors can attend a mass, enter the Crypt of Martyrs, or view an adoration.
