Image description

The Solferino Tower (first called the Malakoff Tower), built in 1859 on the Butte Montmartre in Paris, near a guinguette of the same name, rue des Rosiers (later named rue du Chevalier-de-la-Barre), has the current approximate location of the Sacre-Coeur Basilica. It was about 25 metres high and had four floors. The guinguette, which connected with the tower by a walkway, charged to admire the panorama from the top, where a long view allowed, it is said, to see up to 100 kilometres. During the War of 1870 (the siege of Paris by the Prussians), the two upper floors were removed so as not to serve as a marker for enemy guns. She was completely demolished in 1874. This engraving by P. Kauffmann, published in'The Journal Illusre' No. 13 of March 28, 1875, shows the ruined tower, half destroyed, delivered to vagabonds, rodeurs and looters who are chasing by soldiers.
