The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus of Paris in France

The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus of Paris, commonly known as Sacre -Coeur Basilica is a Roman Catholic church and minor basilica. It is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in Paris, France. It is also a popular landmark in Paris. It is located on the top of the butte Montmartre, the highest point in the city.

I took this image during my second visit in Paris with a friend last August 2010.

The construction of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus of Paris begun in June 16, 1875.

I should use Nikon binoculars to have a better look of this historical building. We just stayed in this square watching the basilica because we don't have much time for going up to the hill for sightseeing. I also read that taking pictures inside the basilica is forbidden.

Notre Dame in Paris, France

I just shared an image from our cruise in Seine River in Paris, France in my previous post. You can also find in the background of that image Notre Dame Cathedral. I have again another picture of this famous architecture in Paris taken at daytime. It is also known as Notre Dame de Paris or Our Lady of Paris. It was one of the first Gothic cathedrals, and its construction spanned the Gothic period. Its sculptures and stained glass show the heavy influence of naturalism, unlike that of earlier Romanesque architecture.

Lastly, I hope that my computer will function good again or else I might ended up buying a new laptop computer. I already mentioned it to hubby and he said anytime this year I will have a new one. I am currently using my small netbook which I found very inconvenient because of its small keyboard. Feel free to browse my categories here for more images of Paris.
