The Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, is the most visited monument in France. It was built in the Middle Ages, at the far end of the Île de la Cité. Work started in the 13th century and finished in the 15th century. Badly damaged during the French Revolution, the cathedral was restored in the 19th century by the architect, Viollet-le-Duc. Its many visitors come to admire its stained glass and rose windows, the towers, the steeple and the gargoyles. They can also discover the Notre-Dame treasury and enjoy a panoramic view of Paris from the towers. In 2013, Notre-Dame celebrated its 850th anniversary.

I think one of the best ways to see the city of Split is from the top of the St Domnius Bell Tower in the centre of Diocletian’s Palace. The view includes a mixture of terracotta tiled roofs, Marjan hill that over looks the city and the sparkling Adriatic Sea. 500px.com/photo/56452430
