Notre-Dame Cathedral is a famous Gothic cathedral located on the Île de la Cité in Paris, France. Construction began in 1163 and was completed in 1345, making it one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture. The cathedral is known for its stunning stained glass windows, intricate sculptures, and flying buttresses. In April 2019, a significant fire caused extensive damage to the structure, including the collapse of its iconic spire. Restoration efforts are currently underway, with plans to restore the cathedral to its former glory. Notre-Dame remains a symbol of Paris and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
