It took years for the building of Notre Dame to be completed, but something that makes it interesting is the many different architects it had over the years. Multiple people got to put their designs into the making of this Cathedral. The building started with Maurice De Sully, and ended a century later under the construction of someone else. The people of France gave ideas and their own insight into the building of this Cathedral.

In 1875, Sacré Coeur was built as a symbol of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, to the people in Paris (Jonas 484). As the heart of Paris, this cathedral has directed the paradigm shift, of the people and the government, back towards Jesus’ heart. One can see this in the contrast of the bloodshed and hatred in the French Revolution and the loving and gracious nature of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This significance of Sacré Coeur is not only found in the cultural transformation, but also divine purpose for Paris.
