Source: paris-walking-tours.com Church in Paris Published on: 2008-12-05 Sightseeing There are churches in every neighborhood of Paris. Few visitors leave without having seen either the Notre Dame de Paris on the Ile de la Cité or the Basilica of Sacré Coeur on top of Montmartre. The earliest known example of Paris Churches was actually built before Paris was Paris. While the city was Roman, known as Lutèce, there was built a Temple to Jupiter. On these foundations a church to Saint Etienne was later built which is actually the spot where Notre Dame cathedral now stands. The ruins of these and other ancient constructions can be visited in the Crypt of the Notre Dame. With the spread of Christianity, many Paris churches were built by the Merovingian and Carolingian kings, though little remains of those today. When Clovis I made Paris his capital in the middle of the 6th century, he built the abbey of Saints Peter and Paul on Mount Ste. Geneviève, where now stands the Panthéon and the church of St. Etienne du Mont. The historic Paris Churches can be a mixture of architectural styles, mostly Romanesque and Gothic. Some excellent examples of Gothic architecture are the churches of this city, including Sainte Chapelle, considered one of the world's finest constructions of Gothic architecture. The churches of Paris offer the visitor a unique perspective on art, architecture and history. Many of the churches in Paris house some stunning and priceless art treasures. There are wood carvings in the pulpits, frescoes and murals on chapel walls and ceilings, sculptures and paintings from recognized masters and, of course, stained glass.
