Notre-Dame de Paris


Is a Gothic, Roman Catholic cathedral. It is the church that contains the cathedra (official chair) of the Archbishop of Paris. The first period of construction was between 1163 and 1240, during the radical phase of the French Revolution in the 1790s the cathedral suffered desecration, when much of its religious imagery was damaged or destroyed. An extensive restoration returned the cathedral to an "original" Gothic state.
