Angelina Harrison #11

This is the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France. I had the pleasure of visiting this beautiful building while traveling through Europe.  Construction first began in 1163.  The architecture is a French Gothic style and this building was one of the first to use the flying buttresses for exterior support. Inside there is a huge organ that has 7,373 pipes. Throughout history there was damage done to the building structure, but it was recused by Napoleon in 1804. I loved visiting this stunning building and it is definitely a must-see when visiting Paris.
