Basilique nationale du Sacré-Coeur
King Leopold II’s thought initially of leaving as lasting legacy a national pantheon based on the French model but changed the idea to a basilica church dedicated to the Sacred Heart, One he had been impressed by seeing when on an official visit to Montmartre in Paris. The construction began in 1905 but took quite a while since the church was not finished until 1970.
