The Basilique de Saint-Denis (Basilica of Saint Denis) is a large catholic church in the city of Saint-Denis, north of Paris. A church was present on the site starting from the 5th century. In 636, the relics of Saint Denis, a patron saint of France and famous cephalophore, were reinterred in the basilica. It then became the burial place of the French Kings with nearly every king from the 10th to the 18th centuries being buried there. The church was rebuilt in pretty much its current form in the 12th century.
