Notre Dame de Paris. Paris, France

The Notre Dame Basilica of Paris is a true Gothic Style church at the heart of Paris's Ile de La cité. The foundation stone was laid in 1163 in the presence of Pope Alexander III, and since then the building has gone through numerous additions, changes and renovations done by some of the best architects of the time, among them Soufflot and Eugene Viollet-le-Duc.
