Notre Dame Cathedral is a central symbol of Paris and an important part of Frances cultural identity. Situated on the le de la Cit, construction of this Gothic structure started in 1163 during the time of Bishop Maurice de Sully. It took nearly 200 years to complete and introduced architectural advancements like flying buttresses and stained-glass windows that changed cathedral design.
