The Place Dalida (French pronunciation: [plasdalida] ) is a square in Montmartre, in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, named after the French singer Dalida. [1] [2] Many fans and tourists visit the place to pay tribute to the artist.
Dalida loved the neighbourhood of Montmartre, where she lived. To honour her, by decree on December 5, 1996, Paris City Hall created the Place Dalida. A bronze bust of the singer was added on 24 April 1997, to mark the 10th anniversary of her death.
The square is on the large corner of two picturesque Montmartre streets, the Rue Girardon and the Rue de l'Abreuvoir. The Rue Girardon spreads from south to the north and it connects with the Rue de l'Abreuvoir. From that point, the Rue de l'Abreuvoir spreads in a west–east direction, a configuration that makes an L-shaped street.
The square is approximately 19 m × 13 m (21 yd × 14 yd) and is completely surrounded by houses.
Three trees surround the bronze bust which is atop five blocks of cut granite. The bust was sculpted by the French artist Aslan. On the highest stone block on the statue, one underneath the bust, there is an engraved plague saying; "YOLANDA GIGLIOTTI, dite DALIDA, chanteuse comédienne, 1933–1987" (English: "YOLANDA GIGLIOTTI, known as DALIDA, singer actress, 1933–1987").
