Chartres Cathedral

Chartres Cathedral, otherwise called the Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartres, is a Roman Catholic church in Chartres, France, around 80 km southwest of Paris. For the most part built somewhere in the range of 1194 and 1220, it remains at the site of no less than five houses of God that have involved the site since Chartres turned into a ward in the 4th century. It is in the Gothic and Romanesque styles. The house of prayer has been very much safeguarded. Most of the first recolored glass windows endure unblemished, while the engineering has seen just minor changes since the mid 13th century.

The structure's outside is commanded by overwhelming flying supports which enabled the planners to build the window measure essentially, while the west end is ruled by two differentiating towers – a 105-meter 349 ft plain pyramid finished around 1160 and a 113-meter 377 ft mid 16th century Flamboyant tower over a more seasoned pinnacle. Similarly eminent are the three extraordinary facades, each decorated with many etched figures showing key religious subjects and accounts. One of the attractions at the Chartres Cathedral is the Chartres Light Celebration, when not exclusively is the house of God lit, however so are numerous structures all through the town, as a festival of charge.
