About
Kiired faktid: Külastades treppe üles avaneb lai linnavaade ja fassaadi eriline, helge sära tuleb travertiinist, mis eraldab kaltsiumkarbonaati ning aitab kivipinda püsivalt heleda hoida. Siseruumis lööb silma hiiglaslik Kristuse-mosaiik kuldsetes toonides, ning püsiva adoratsiooni traditsioon annab ruumile vaikse, meditatiivse õhkkonna.
Tipphetked: Apsiidis laiub umbes 475 ruutmeetri suurune kullatud mosaiik, mille keskmes on hiiglaslik Kristuse kujutis, see on kokku pandud miljonitest pisikestest klaasplaadist ja helgib eriti päikeseloojangu ajal. Tornis ripub kell nimega La Savoyarde, mis kaalub umbes 19 000 kilogrammi, ja alates 1885. aastast hoitakse kirikus pidevat kummardamist, nii et õhtuti segunevad kella sügav kõla ja tänavamuusika paljude kohalike rutiiliga.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes; the dome involves roughly 300 steep steps and there is no elevator.
- Arrive at opening to beat most crowds for the dome, or 30–45 minutes before sunset for golden light but expect queues.
- Use the square in front of the basilica and the north terrace for classic Paris panoramas and framed photos; avoid shooting into midday sun.
- Skip the crypt if short on time, the nave and the vast cupola mosaic offer more visual impact for most visitors.
