Description
An account of the resource
The beautiful white travertine Catholic basilica on the hills of Montmatre in Paris was inspired by desire to honor the more than 58,000 Frenchmen who lost their lives during the civil uprising in Paris at the end of the Franco-Prussian War in 1873. When the French Assembly approved the building of the basilica in 1874, however, part of the reason was to celebrate the victory over the communards of Paris who had slain the archbishop of Paris during the fighting. Many of the communards remain entombed in the ground underneath the basilica in the gypsum mines; the French Army of Versailles used explosives to destroy the underground chambers where they had sought refuge. The next archbishop is said to have climbed the butte of Montmartre and had a vision that on this beautiful high spot overlooking Paris a church of the Sacred Heart should be built; the basilica became a symbol of the resurgent Catholic Church in France. The view from the Basilica which sits on the highest ground in Paris is spectacular.

Description
An account of the resource
Behind the small but beautiful Praha Catholic Church is a small cemetery and a war memorial. The granite memorial is dedicated to Reverend Marcus Valenta who served as a US Army Chaplain during World War II and survived the attack on Pearl Harbor. Below his name are pictures of the boys from Praha who made the ultimate sacrifice and their names are listed on the right side of the memorial. The number of men who died in World War II from this very small community is one of the highest percentages of loss per population in the US during the war. In the cemetery are grave sites of some of the local men who died in war.

Description
An account of the resource
The 1895 church sustained extreme damage and destruction during World War II Allied bombing and was left as a reminder of the devastation of 20th century warfare. The remains of the central tower contain original mosaics and items from the church as well as a history of the church. Between 1959-61 Egon Eiermann created a blue-glazed octagonal church on one side and an hexagonal bell tower on the other side. The original church was commissioned by Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1891 to honor his grandfather Kaiser Wilhelm I. The original spire stood 371 feet but only 223 remain today.
