Paris Poster - Sacré-Coeur

This poster by illustrator Lotza depicts the famous Sacré-Coeur in Paris. This iconic white basilica located on the Butte Montmartre is a symbol of the city of love and light. Construction of the basilica began in 1875, shortly after the Franco-Prussian War, as an expression of gratitude and redemption to France. It was designed by the architect Paul Abadie, who mixed Romano-Byzantine and Gothic styles. It took more than 40 years to complete the construction of the basilica, which was finally consecrated in 1919. The Sacré-Coeur is an important place of worship for Catholics, as well as a popular landmark for tourists from around the world.
