Notre-Dame de Paris

Notre-Dame de Paris is a historic Gothic cathedral located on the Île de la Cité in the heart of Paris. Construction began in the 12th century, and the cathedral became one of the most recognizable landmarks of medieval French architecture, known for its imposing façade, flying buttresses and distinctive towers. The cathedral has played an important role in the religious and cultural history of Paris for centuries. After suffering extensive damage in a major fire in 2019, Notre-Dame underwent a large-scale restoration and reopened to the public in December 2024.
