A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY
Why is Notre Dame the most famous cathedral in the world? Despite it being a catholic place of worship,  its fame extends well beyond the borders of the Christian world.

Part of the answer is, of course, that it represents one of the most iconic views of Paris, itself the most visited city in the world.

But the history of its construction, which sparked world-famous books, plays and even musicals certainly explains the  worldwide fame of this majestic example of French Gothic architecture. Started in the year 1163, the main construction work lasted over a century, with modifications being applied in later centuries.

The architecture incorporates some of the most spectacular innovations of the times, for example with the flying buttresses, constructed during the 13th century, which enabled the weight of the vault to be transmitted to those side-structures so that walls could both be made thinner and reach higher.
