Entrance to the Basilica of Saint Denis
The oldest major Gothic structure, the Basilica of Saint Denis was built in the 12th century. With only three exceptions, every French monarch from Clovis I onward was interred there. During the French Revolution, the tombs were emptied of their remains, which are now in the basilica's crypt.
