Name [ edit ]

Until the 3rd century, Saint-Denis was a small settlement called Catolacus or Catulliacum, probably meaning "estate of 🧲 Catullius", a Gallo-Roman landowner. About 250 AD, the first bishop of Paris, Saint Denis, was martyred on Montmartre hill and 🧲 buried in Catolacus. Shortly after 250 AD, his grave became a shrine and a pilgrimage centre, with the building of 🧲 the Abbey of Saint Denis, and the settlement was renamed Saint-Denis.
