Notre Dame Cathedral - Notre Dame Cathedral (English name) Cathédrale Notre‐Dame de Paris
This is an episcopal church on the Île de la Cité in Paris. It is a magnificent example of early Gothic architecture, with the west facade being the most harmonious of French Gothic architecture. The rectangular twin towers and the vertical lines of the buttresses that divide the facade into three parts along the lines of the twin towers, along with the horizontal lines of the King's Gallery, create an unparalleled balance and harmony, with the rose window at the center. The current building is the third to be built, following those built in the 5th and 6th centuries (or early 7th century). Construction began on the sanctuary in the mid-12th century, and was completed in 1182.
