The Notre Dame Cathedral first opened its doors in 1345. The cathedral is one of the best examples of the French Gothic architecture, noted for its signature rib vaults and spire, which was added during the 19th century. Notre Dame has been a witness to countless of historical events relevant to its country of origin; Napoleon Bonaparte was crowned emperor inside the Notre Dame in 1804, the memorial services of French leaders Charles de Gaulle and Francois Mitterrand were also held inside the cathedral, with the cathedral acting as the ‘cradle’ of Paris.
