Notre Dame Cathedral
Notre Dame Cathedral

Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France is a spectacular Gothic church of 130 metres long located on the east of Ile de la Citi. The name 'Notre Dame de Paris' means 'Our Lady of Paris' as the church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary.

On the site where Notre Dame Cathedral was built, there used to be an ancient temple to Jupiter. Later Paris' first Christian church - the Basilica Saint-Itiennen - was built there. In 1160 the bishop of Paris Maurice de Sully ordered the demolition of the current cathedral as he wanted to build a much more majestic building. The construction began in 1663 and it was finished around 1345. Bishop de Sully never saw his dream complete, as he died in 1196. Many architects participated in the project of Notre Dame Cathedral.

Nowadays Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral is considered one of the greatest masterpieces of French Gothic architecture. The Western Fagade is divided into three levels and it is one of the most famous features of the building. The rose windows of this Paris church (on the western fagade) show scenes of the New Testament and are admired in the world for being stained glass windows that still have their original glasswork. The towers of the same fagade are 69 metres tall and the South Tower has the bell 'Emmanuel' that weighs 13 metric tons. Inside the Cathedral there is a generously decorated statue of the 'Virgin of Paris' that is the Virgin Mary.
