Saint-Pierre de Montmartre
Dating from the mid-fifth century arose here, on the site of a temple of Mars, the first Merovingian church. Sold, in ruins, to Louis VI in 1133, it was rebuilt for the Benedictine abbey founded by Queen Adelaide of Savoy, and solemnly consecrated by Pope III Eugena III Easter Monday 1147. This is one of the oldest religious buildings in Paris, which dates essentially from the twelfth century, with some reused Gallo-Roman. Closed to worship during the Revolution, it received in 1794, above the disused Ladies Choir, a tower designed to support the Chappe optical telegraph in service until 1844. In very poor condition in the nineteenth century, it narrowly escaped demolition, and has had a radical restoration from 1900.
