Île de la Cité, River island in 1st arrondissement of Paris, France
The Île de la Cité spans 22.5 hectares in the Seine River, forming the historical center of Paris with medieval buildings and stone bridges.
The island served as a Celtic settlement for the Parisii tribe in 200 BC before becoming a Roman stronghold named Lutetia in 52 BC.
Notre-Dame Cathedral, Sainte-Chapelle, and Conciergerie stand on the island as examples of French Gothic architecture and religious heritage.
Visitors can reach the island using Metro line 4 at Cité station or RER lines B and C at Saint-Michel Notre-Dame station.
Point Zero, a small bronze marker outside Notre-Dame Cathedral, marks the official center point for measuring all distances from Paris.
