Basilica Cathedral of Saint Denis Review

The St. Danny's Church is a very sacred and solemn place. The overall style is very retro and exquisite. It is worth seeing. Overall, the place that is more suitable for seeing is that the style is more unified and the window glass is beautiful! Recommended ～

Line 13 Basilique de St-Denis stood out and walked straight for less than 100 meters, and St. Danny's Cathedral suddenly appeared on the left. In the third century AD, Saint Danny was the first saint to bring Christian civilization to Paris, and was beheaded in Montmartre Heights due to religious persecution by the Roman authorities. It is legendary that Saint Danny took up the skull on the ground the next day and came to a small town before falling down. In honor of his construction of a small church, now the original body of St. Danny's Church, was rebuilt in 1125 and is considered the birth of a Gothic building. It is also the burial ground of the French royal family, and Louis XVIII was the last emperor buried there.

Built in the 3rd century, the monastery of Saint Denis has a history of more than 1700 years, the architecture is typical of Gothic architecture, of which the charming painted glass is one of its symbols. It is also a burial ground for the French royal family, which has many sculptures and coffins of kings and queens, which are very mysterious.

Very historic church, free to visit. Friends who travel here for the first time must see.

Today there are more than 70 beautifully carved mausoleums, including Dagobert, François I, Queen Katrina de Medici and Louis XVI.
