PARIS, FRANCE - JANUARY 20: A detail of sculpture on the portico of Sacre-Coeur Basilica, on January 20, 2009, in Montmartre, Paris, France. This oblique low angle view shows the decoration and Corinthian style capital around one of the Roman arches within the portico. A sculpture of a female face smiles down from a niche in a top corner of the doorway. Sacre-Coeur Basilica, built 1884-1914, was designed by Paul Abadie. Constructed in white travertine on the top of the Butte Montmartre, the Romano-Byzantine style Sacre-Coeur was designed as a monument to those who died in the Paris Commune during the Franco-Prussian War, 1870-71.
