Notre Dame the Paris, and Details - Pictures by Cecilia Manguerra Brainard

Notre Dame the Paris, and Details - Pictures by Cecilia Manguerra Brainard
I took these pictures of Notre Dame, showing the back, side, and front, and also close-up of two gargoyles in the back. The side shows the flying buttresses very well.

The building of Notre Dame began in 1160, although construction and reconstruction went on for hundreds of years.
