The Sacré-Coeur Basilica is one of Paris's major tourist draws. The majestic building is located on top of the Montmartre hill. Construction of the Roman-Byzantyne basilica started in 1876. Due to its location on the Montmartre hill, the basilica towers over the city; its highest point is even higher than the top of the Eiffel Tower. The Sacré-Coeur Basilica has managed to keep its beaming white color even in the polluted air of a big city like Paris.
