Notre-Dame de Paris

Notre-Dame de Paris is a medieval Catholic cathedral on the Île de la Cité in Paris, a major example of French Gothic architecture built from the 12th to 13th centuries. The building is notable for its twin western towers, large rose windows, rib vaults, flying buttresses and extensive sculptural decoration.

As it stood in 1260

The shape it held in its prime.

The west façade is a symmetrical pale limestone composition of two massive square towers flanking a wide three-portal entrance; a large circular rose window sits above the central portal, and a continuous sculpted gallery runs between the portals and the towers. Deep recessed pointed arches, clustered column shafts, dense carved tympana and rows of statues animate the stone surface. The towers show tall twin-arched belfry openings, crenellated parapets and a horizontal gallery tying them together.
