Cathédrale Notre-Dame
You will find this Catholic cathedral in Chartres, France, about 80 km southwest of Paris. It is a World Heritage Site and a classified historical monument. The inception of the building was in 1145, and it was designed by the Master of Chartres. The cathedral is a classic gothic structure that reaches a height of 113 meters. Most of the construction took place between 1194 and 1220, though the north spire was built later, between 1507 and 1513. As a minor basilica and a collection, it stands as a central point of the city's layout. You can see how the classic gothic style is applied to the massive scale of the walls and the height of the towers, creating a landmark that is visible from a distance across the region.
