People started to built it in 1163 and ended
in 1245. It is situated
in the small Island of
Cité in Paris, France,
which is surrounded by
the waters of the
Sena. It is one of the
oldest Gothic cathedrals in France, although
it has cross plan (Romanosque style). The
towers are 69 meters
high. There are
stained glass,
gargoyles, chimeras
and the famous Emmanuel bell.

gothic art, and the needs
and aspirations of the
society of the time.

powerful
tool in a society, because in the
eleventh century, the urban life
transformed very fast.
