🏰‼ Don't Miss Sainte-Chapelle When in Paris!
🌟 Paris Sainte-Chapelle is a Gothic chapel located on the Île de la Cité in Paris, France. It was commissioned by King Louis IX and built between 1243 and 1248. The construction of the church took only 3 years and was completed in a consistent style, which is quite rare. 🌟 The purpose of its construction was to house the relics of Jesus' Passion, such as the Crown of Thorns and fragments of the Cross. Louis IX spent a fortune on the church and the relics, with the price of the Crown of Thorns being more expensive than the cost of building the Sainte-Chapelle itself. The upper level of the church preserves the most important relics and is connected to Louis IX's private residence. 🌟 The church's windows are a colorful mosaic, with vibrant colors and a sense of mystery. The stained-glass narratives depict the story of Jesus and how these relics were brought to France. ☑️ Book in advance on the official website!!
