The Notre Dame Cathedral Paris or Notre Dame de Paris is a
Gothic cathedral located in the fourth arrondissement of Paris,
France, It has its main entrance to the west.
The Notre Dame Cathedral with its sculptures and stained glass
windows show the heavy influence of naturalism, unlike that of
earlier Romanesque architecture. It was one of the very first
Gothic cathedrals, and its construction took place throughout
the Gothic period.
The Notre Dame Cathedral is widely considered one of the finest
examples of French Gothic architecture in the world.. The name
Notre Dame means “Our Lady” in French, and is frequently used
in the names of Catholic church buildings in Francophone
countries.
The Cathedral of Notre Dame is probably best known for its
relation to the story of the Hunchback of Notre Dame, made
famous by the numerous cartoons and movies inspired by it. But
it is the French Gothic Architecture that remains the biggest
draw for visitors from around the world, an unrivaled, perfect
example to this day.
