Notre-Dame de Paris

Notre-Dame de Paris, often referred to simply as Notre-Dame, is a famous medieval cathedral located on the Île de la Cité in Paris, France. Built between the 12th and 14th centuries, it showcases Gothic architecture with its impressive flying buttresses, intricate sculptures, and beautiful stained glass windows. The cathedral is a significant cultural and historical landmark, known for its role in literature, notably Victor Hugo’s novel "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame." In April 2019, it suffered a devastating fire, leading to ongoing restoration efforts to preserve its iconic structure and heritage.
