About 'Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris'

Notre Dame de Paris (Our Lady of Paris) is a Gothic cathedral considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture in the world. It is the cathedral of the Catholic archdiocese of Paris. Various excavations on the eastern part of the Ile de la Cité, the current location of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame, lead to believe that at the beginning of the common era, there was a pagan temple, later replaced by a large Christian basilica with five naves, which most likely resembled the ancient basilicas of Rome or Ravenna. Maurice de Sully was bishop of Paris from 1160 to 1196. From the time he was elected, he provided a pastoral, theological and spiritual response to his diocese’s deep transformations by rebuilding a cathedral church dedicated to the Virgin Mary (Notre-Dame) and making it a bishop’s church, a canon church and a baptistery. Tradition has it that Notre-Dame’s first stone was laid in 1163 in the presence of Pope Alexander III.
