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
This 69 meter tall column was erected in 1873 and originally sat in front of the Reichstag building but was moved to its current site in the Tiergarten in 1939 by the Nazi government. The memorial commemorates the Prussian victories over Denmark in 1864, Austria in 1866 and France in 1870/71; these wars created the united German Reich. The column is topped by a gold eight-meter tall statue of the Roman goddess, Victoria or Victory. On the rounded base are placed statues of Prussian general Roon and Moltke and Imperial Chancellor Otto von Bismarck. On the square base are relief sculptures depicting the battles from the wars and original cannons from the wars are also present. Inside are 285 steps in a spiral staircase leading to an observation platform. [Unfortunately when the author visited the memorial was undergoing repairs/renovations and was covered with scaffolding.
