==France== One of the earliest examples in France is the enormous [[Marseille Cathedral]], built between 1852 and 1893, and the basilica of [[Notre-Dame de la Garde]], both located in Marseille. Another example is the Russian orthodox [[Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Paris|Alexander Nevsky Cathedral]] in Paris build 1859-1861.<ref>{{Base Mérimée|PA00088807|Cathédrale orthodoxe Saint-Alexandre-Nevsky}}</ref> The [[Saint-Augustin, Paris|Saint-Augustin]] in Paris build between 1860 and 1871 is an example of [[Eclecticism in architecture|Eclectic]] Romano-Byzantine architecture. A prominent example of Byzantine Revival architecture in France is the [[Sacré-Cœur, Paris|Basilica of Sacre-Coeur]] in Paris, built between 1875 and 1914, based on the original plan of [[Paul Abadie]]. It features five elongated domes on the exterior and an interior with mosaics and other art inspired by [[Byzantine art]].<ref>*Dumoulin, Aline; Ardisson, Alexandra; Maingard, Jérôme; Antonello, Murielle; ''Églises de Paris'' (2010), Éditions Massin, Issy-Les-Moulineaux, {{ISBN|978-2-7072-0683-1}}</ref> Inspired by the former is another excellent example - the [[Basilica of Sainte-Thérèse, Lisieux]] completed in 1954.
