About this place

The Cathedrale Notre Dame de Paris is a Roman Catholic cathedral and one of the best examples of French Architecture. On the same location where today stands the cathedral, there was a Roman temple dedicated to Jupiter. Prior to the cathedral and after the temple, on the same location, there was located a Christian Basilica and a Romanesque church.

The construction of the cathedral started in the 12th century and finished in the 14th century. The stories of the Bible are retold through its portals, paintings and colorful glass windows.  The interior changed during the time and many new sculptures and paintings were added which augment the value of the cathedral.

There are two towers, one on the each side of the facade which top can be reached by climbing almost 400 stairs. A beautiful view on the river and Paris stretches from the top of one of the most beautiful cathedrals.
