Postcard Sacré-Coeur

This postcard by illustrator Lotza depicts the famous Sacré-Coeur de Paris. This iconic white basilica located on the Montmartre hilltop is a symbol of the city of love and light.

Construction of the basilica began in 1875, shortly after the Franco-Prussian War, as an expression of gratitude and redemption for France. It was designed by the architect Paul Abadie, who mixed Romanesque-Byzantine and Gothic styles. It took over 40 years to complete the construction of the basilica, which was finally consecrated in 1919.

The Sacred Heart is an important place of worship for Catholics, as well as a popular landmark for tourists from around the world. Visitors can admire the basilica’s magnificent mosaics, which cover more than 450 square meters, as well as the breathtaking view of Paris from the basilica’s dome.
