The origins of a name

A Temple of Mars at the site of a christian temple? Montmartre, derives its name from a blend of pagan and Christian origins. The name is believed to have evolved from 'Mons Martis', meaning 'Mount of Mars' in Latin, referencing the ancient Roman temple dedicated to Mars, the god of war, that once stood on the hill. Later, the site became associated with Saint Denis, the first Bishop of Paris, who was martyred there. The location was thus renamed 'Mont des Martyrs' or 'Martyrs' Mount'. Over time, these names merged and morphed into 'Montmartre'. This unique blend of mythology and history encapsulates the rich cultural tapestry of the area.
