The Basilica of Saint-Denis (Basilique Royale de Saint-Denis, now formally known as the Basilique-cathédrale de Saint-Denis) is a large former medieval abbey church and present cathedral in the commune of Saint-Denis, a northern suburb of Paris. The building is of singular importance historically and architecturally as its choir, completed in 1144, is widely considered the first structure to employ all of the elements of Gothic architecture. The basilica became a place of pilgrimage and a necropolis containing the tombs of the kings of France, including nearly every king from the 10th century to Louis XVIII in the 19th century. The site originated as a Gallo-Roman cemetery in late Roman times. The archaeological remains still lie beneath the cathedral; the graves indicate a mixture of Christian and pre-Christian burial practices. In the 12th century, the abbot Suger rebuilt portions of the abbey church using innovative structural and decorative features. In doing so, he is said to have created the first truly Gothic building. In the following century the master-builder Pierre de Montreuil rebuilt the nave and the transepts in the new Rayonnant Gothic style. The abbey church became a cathedral on the formation of the Diocese of Saint-Denis by Pope Paul VI in 1966 and is the seat of the Bishop of Saint-Denis. Although known as the &quot;Basilica of St Denis&quot;, the cathedral has not been granted the title of Minor Basilica by the Vatican. The 282-foot (86-meter) tall spire, dismantled in the 19th century, is to be rebuilt. The project initiated more than 30 years ago, was decided in 2018 with a signed agreement, with initial restoration work beginning in 2022. From 2025, the building project has commenced, with visitors of the cathedral being able to observe the building works as part of their tour. The project is planned to be completed by 2029, with a cost of 37 million euro. <br />
