This cathedral was originaly built in the XIIth century. But it evolved a lot, in the XIXth century it reached the size of 151m (official website, stats changes from 147m to 158m depending of the source). Becomming the world tallest structure. At his death, Richard Lionheart, king of England was buried here. As his favorite city.

I send this to the middle ages subsection because the overwhelming part of it is from the middle ages, but don't get fooled, the spire was added.

Somewhwere between 9 and 9.5

The only thing I would change is the color of the spire.

i have seen it last month :)

I know it's famous for the Monet paintings, and the interior it's stunning...but still I don't dig the main facade... too "messy" and unharmonized...anyone thinks the same here?
But still, the interior it's gougeous, so...
7,5/10!
pity for the facade! :)
