PARIS, FRANCE - JANUARY 20: A low angle view of the portico of Sacre-Coeur Basilica, on January 20, 2009, in Montmartre, Paris, France. The Roman arches of the portico, lit by the winter morning light, are topped by two bronze equestrian statues by H Lefebvre. One portrays Joan of Arc, the other Saint Louis. 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.
