    Chartres Cathedral was built between 1134 and 1260, thus becoming one of the first great Gothic cathedrals.

    Over the centuries, the cathedral was adorned and decorated so well that it still constitutes an exceptional monument today.

    Chartres Cathedral is a must-see, both for its stained glass windows, its overall architecture and its sculptures.

    Its two towers—crafted quite differently, perhaps at first glance giving the viewer a sense of a lack of symmetry—surmount not only the roofs of the Gothic cathedral itself, built at the end of the 12th century, but also the city of Chartres as a whole. They are clearly visible even from a great distance. The cathedral, like so many in France, is dedicated to the Virgin Mary under the title "Notre Dame" (Our Lady).
