The cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris was a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. The craftsmanship was of rare
excellence, even by the standards of the Middle Ages. The cathedral's distinctive western facade is a fine
example of the Gothic use of functional decoration. Like an ancient Greek temple, all ornaments are
integrated parts of the whole structure.
The construction of Notre Dame spanned approximately a century. Work began in 1163, and by 1200 the

choir, transept and nave were completed, and the western facade was under construction. In 1230, the whole
top of the construction was rebuilt. More windows were added, and the clerestory windows were made taller to
provide more light. New flying buttresses provided greater stability.
The towers were completed in 1250 and capped with molded cornices. These squared-off towers with no spires
were unique in medieval architecture. At this time, the transept was extended by a bay at either end, and
immense rose windows were built into the north and south facades. Seven chapels were built between the
buttresses on either side of the nave. By 1270, exterior work was entirely completed.
