Chartres Cathedral, France
Description
Partly built starting in 1145 and reconstructed after the fire of 1194, Chartres Cathedral is a reference point of French Gothic art. Its vast nave in pure ogival style, its porches presenting admirable sculptures from the middle of the 12th century, and its sparkling 12th- and 13th-century stained-glass windows, all in remarkable condition, make it a masterpiece.
