Notre-Dame de Paris, Catholic cathedral on Île de la Cité, France
The cathedral features two 69-meter towers with exterior buttresses, three rose windows, and numerous stone statues adorning its Gothic architecture.
Construction began in 1163 under Bishop Maurice de Sully, with major architectural work completed by 1260, replacing an earlier Christian basilica.
The cathedral houses significant Christian relics, including the Crown of Thorns and fragments of the True Cross in its treasury collection.
The cathedral will reopen on December 8, 2024, following extensive restoration work after the devastating fire of April 2019.
The grand organ contains 8000 pipes across 115 stops, making it among the largest instruments in France.
