Full description

Take the short journey to the northern suburbs of Paris, and arrive at the incredible Basilique Saint-Denis. Built on the grave of Saint-Denis, the royal abbey was the burial place of 43 kings, 32 queens, and 10 servants to the monarchy. The basilica was raised to the rank of cathedral in 1966. Discover the largest collection of funerary sculpture from the 12th to the 16th-centuries contained within the basilica's walls. Admire stunning examples of Gothic art and architecture as you stroll through the inside and outside of the building. Find out how the architect's emphasis on the importance of light, a symbol of divinity, was revolutionary at its time. See the last resting place of the Kings of France and its unique collection of 70 sculpted tombs.

Beautiful piece of history in the unproper location. Saint Denis, the city, is crazy, the feeling of unsecurity is so strong that it somehow ruins the pleasure of visiting the cathedral. Nevertheless, Saint Denis Basilica is amazing, it surely worth the trouble to go there.

Saint Denis è un anello nella catena della storia. Non ho potuto soffermarmi sui dettagli perché guidavo miei genitori, ma la luce, lo spazio, lo spirito degli antichi reggenti, tutto ti avvolge di fascino. Unica pecca non potere lasciare la valigia in un deposito all'ingresso. Così ho dovuto guidare mia madre e poi mio padre per avere sempre fuori un custode delle valige!

Salió todo muy bien. Increíble catedral de arquitectura gótica y vitrales fabulosos. Las estatuas y las tumbas monumentales son verdaderas obras de arte. Sin lugar a dudas un lugar de una enorme importancia histórica y arquitectónica no sólo para los franceses
