Except for St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome, the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris is perhaps the most
well-known and important church in the world. The Cathedral is located on the Ile de la Cité in the
middle of the Seine River. It dates from the 12th century
and has been renovated and updated many times.

Stained glass windows are some of the most beautiful
features of churches in Europe.
The most famous window of the Cathedral of
Notre Dame is the South Rose
Window (below).
It is said to represent
"Christ’s triumphant
reigning over Heaven,
surrounded by all
his witnesses
on earth.”
