2025 Churches, Cathedrals

In the very heart of the French capital, more precisely on the Île de la Cité, lies the oldest and at the same time the most mysterious cathedral - Notre-Dame de Paris. Previously, the site was home to the first Christian church in Paris.

The construction of the cathedral started in the 1160s and lasted about 180 years! However, despite such a lengthy period, everyone who participated in its creation was able to preserve the main concept of a Gothic cathedral.

The building owes its worldwide fame to the novel of the same name, written by Victor Hugo. Following which, an order for the cathedral's reconstruction was almost immediately issued, which lasted 23 years. During this time, the appearance of the cathedral was enhanced with chimeras, and in front of the main facade, a square was created from which all the roads of France start, as indicated by the commemorative plaque: "0 km".

Собор Парижской Богоматери - масштабное здание, выстроенное в готическом стиле. Поневоле обращаешь внимание на то, что рядом с ним нет ни одного достойного здания, настолько он затмевает все вокруг своим величием. Я решил взять аудиогид, чтобы побольше узнать о соборе. Огорчают большие очереди и скопление людей, посещение некоторых частей храма платные.

Нотр-Дам-де-Пари - известнейший в мире собор, о котором с таким восхищением писал Гюго в своем романе. А вот если захотите посетить собор, приготовьтесь, что придется отстоять очень длинную очередь из любознательных туристов. Советую взять аудиогид, чтобы узнать более подробно об истории возведения собора.

Hermosa como antes del incendio y con más luminosidad. Todavia hay trabajos en la parte de afuera, pero se puede apreciar toda la Catedral. Se recomienda reservar las entradas por la web por que sino tenes q hacer una cola de 4 cuadras y al rayo del sol. Mucha gente en su interior.
