Notre Dame Cathedral on l'Île de la Cité in Paris, in the summer of 1983. Among the first buildings in the world to feature flying buttresses, the cathedral is considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture in Europe. Construction began in 1163, and was largely completed in 1345. It was significantly vandalized during the French Revolution, but was subsequently restored to its "original" gothic state.
