A detail of the domes of Sacré C˜ìur, on May 16, 2008, in Montmartre in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, France. After the Franco-Prussian War in 1871, the basilica was built on the highest spot in Paris as an atonement and a symbol of national confidence. Designed by Paul Abadie, 1812-84, in a Romanesque-Byzantine style, the construction began in 1875 but was not completed until 1914, when the outbreak of the 1st World War delayed the official opening until 1919. Sacre Coeur is built of travertine stone which exudes calcium and always remains white, clearly seen here on a spring evening.
