Tourist objectives are the main reason for which we choose to visit a particular tourist destination.
When we choose a specific location, we take into consideration, the tourist objectives of the location in question.
Which would be the sense to opt for a location devoid of elements of tourist interest?
Such a choice could premeditate a failed holiday.
Thus, analyzing according to this eliminatory criterion, I have chosen to introduce you today, a touristic objective rated at the level of Europe and not only.
Therefore, I would like to introduce you the Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral , a vestige of the ancient Christian faith for eight centuries.
The Gothic masterpiece is located on Île de la Cité, a small island in the heart of Paris.
Notre Dame Cathedral was founded in XII century by Maurice de Sully, bishop of Paris, and was developed over the years along with the town.
It was built between 1163 and 1270, the period during which France was one of the most powerful and faithful kingdoms in Europe.
Notre Dame Cathedral was completed only in the year 1345, its construction being an arduous one.
The result was an overwhelming building of 128 meters long and towers of 69 meters high.
The towers, the sculptures, the stained glass and the ship of the Notre Dame are the artistic experiences of the mystical dimension.
The Bell Tower, which reaches 90 meters, was added in the 19th century of Viollet-le-Duc.
Cathedral holds several round windows, but the one in the 13th century is the most impressive with a diameter of 13.1 meters.
It is more interesting to admire the Notre Dame Cathedral from the outside than from the inside in order to fully appreciate the vast symphony of stone.
At one point it was discussed the demolition of the Notre Dame Cathedral.
But because of the popularity of the Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo was dropped this intention and was begun its restoration.
Therefore, presenting you all this, I think you have all the reasons to visit this impressive masterpiece.
Notre Dame Cathedral, the exponent of the Gothic.
A renowned cathedral which waits to be discovered and admired by all of us!
Beautiful travels!
