	Saint Denis Basilica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Almost all the kings of France were buried in the Basilica, but unlike Westminster Abbey it was not used for coronations (a role relegated to the Cathedral of Reims).
		Saint Denis is a patron saint of France and, according to legend, was the first bishop of Paris.
		The Saint Denis Gothic structure that we know and see today was begun in 1136 by the Abbot Suger (1081-1155), but the major construction was not completed until the end of the 13th century.

		Denis with his inseparable companions, the priest Rusticus and the deacon Eleutherius, arrived in the neighbourhood of the present city of Paris and settled on the island in the Seine.
		Denis with his two companions were seized and as they persevered in their faith were beheaded (about 275) after many tortures.

		Beyond a carolingian crypt remnant of the edifice consecrated by Carolus Magnus in 775, the Basilica keeps the memory of two major buildings determining for the evolution of religious architecture.
		Nicknamed because of its brightness, the "Lucerna", the lantern, the XIIIth century basilica is a novelty notably by the new use of fasciculated pillars (pillars made of bundles of small columns), by the openwork triforium and the immensity of the roses illuminating a transept of exceptionnal width intended to receive the royal tombs.
