巴黎圣母院, or Notre-Dame de Paris, is a famous cathedral located on the Île de la Cité in the heart of Paris, France. Construction began in 1163 and was completed in 1345, showcasing stunning French Gothic architecture. The cathedral is known for its intricate sculptures, beautiful stained glass windows, and iconic flying buttresses. In April 2019, a significant fire caused extensive damage to Notre-Dame, leading to the collapse of its spire and roof. Restoration efforts are currently underway, with plans to reopen the cathedral to the public in the coming years, preserving its historical and cultural significance for future generations.
