Zig Zagging Stairs Leading to the Top of Butte de Montmartre and the Sacré Couer Basilica Crowning it
The inspiration for the Basilica originated in the wake of the division in French society that arose in the decades following the French Revolution, between devout Catholics and legitimist royalists on one side, and socialists and radicals on the other. This schism became particularly pronounced after the Franco-Prussian War and the ensuing uprising of the Paris Commune of 1870-71. Though today the Basilica is asserted to be dedicated in honor of the 58,000 who lost their lives during the war, the decree of the Assembl?e nationale, 24 July 1873, responding to a request by the archbishop of Paris by voting its construction, specifies that it is to "expiate the crimes of the communards". Montmartre had been the site of the Commune's first insurrection, and many hard-core communards were forever entombed in the subterranean galleries of former gypsum mines where they had retreated, by explosives detonated at the entrances by the Army of Versailles. Hostages had been executed on both sides, and the Communards had executed Georges Darboy, Archbishop of Paris, who became a martyr for the resurgent Catholic Church. His successor Guibert, climbing the Butte Montmartre in October 1872, was reported to have had a vision, as clouds dispersed over the panorama: "It is here, it is here where the martyrs are, it is here that the Sacred Heart must reign so that it can beckon all to come".

Italy
Anguillara Sabazia is a town and comune in the Province of Rome, Lazio, central
Italy, around 30 km northwest of Rome. It nestles on a small cape on the
coast of the Lake Bracciano; its medieval center and its beach make it
a popular destination for tourists.
Anguillara is served by a local train ("FR3") which connects it with Rome (stations
of Roma Ostiense and of Valle Aurelia) in around 40 minutes.
Three kilometres east of the town lies the small, volcanic Lake Martignano, also
popular with tourists. The two lakes and the surrounding area have been declared
as Regional Park and are under a strict naturalistic control.
A two-part episode of the popular American sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond was
shot in the town. Source: Wikipedia.
