Sacré Cœur on Montmartre overlooking Paris

            Turned golden by the setting sun and on the summit of Montmartre north of Paris in the 18th arrondissement, a part of the Right Bank, stands the white-domed Basilica of the Sacré Cœur.
This renowned Parisian landmark was built on Montmartre from 1876 to 1912. Sacré-Cœur is made of travertine stone quarried in Château-Landon (Seine-et-Marne), France. This stone constantly exudes calcite, which ensures that the basilica remains white even with weathering and pollution.
