In 1870 war broke out between France and Prussia. The project to built the Sacré Coeur was initated by a group of influential people who wanted to build the monument as moral condemnation of the sins of Paris. They vowed to build a church conseccrated to the Heart of Christ in reparation. The Roman-Byzantyne architectural syle of the basilica stands in sharp contrast with other contemporary buildings in France, which were in a Romanesque style. |
