Sacré-Cœur is a double monument, political and cultural, both a national penance for the defeat of France in the 1871 Franco-Prussian War and the socialist Paris Commune of 1871 crowning its most rebellious neighbourhood; and an embodiment of conservative moral order, publicly dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which was an increasingly popular vision of a loving and sympathetic Christ.
The Sacré-Cœur Basilica was designed by Paul Abadie. Construction began in 1875 and was finished in 1914. It was consecrated after the end of World War I in 1919.
Truly Amazing

When you listen on those phones inside, there's a lovely story about how the nuns refused to leave and prayed to be saved instead and the bombs destroyed everything around the church but the building remained unscathed (we do know now that the Nazi general -forgot his name - loved Paris and chose not to destroy the things of beauty, and I have to question that the church thinks this is a good story where all the common people living around Momartre got killed but in the telling, when you hear it, it's quite moving and lovely) #TravelTuesday
