About
Fatos rápidos: Do alto da colina, as cúpulas brancas refletem uma luz quase opalescente ao entardecer, oferecendo vistas panorâmicas que alcançam horizontes surpreendentes. No interior silencioso, um mosaico monumental envolve visitantes com tons dourados e uma atmosfera contemplativa, enquanto as campanas maciças ressoam com um estrondo profundo.
Destaques: A fachada permanece surpreendentemente branca porque foi construída com travertino de Château-Landon, uma pedra que libera calcário quando chove, então as chuvas polirão a superfície continuamente. Já dentro, existe uma campana chamada La Savoyarde que pesa cerca de 19 toneladas, doada em 1895 e tocada apenas em ocasiões solenes, o que faz o chão tremer e o som ecoar por toda a colina.
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.
