Answer 2

Answer:

Chartres Cathedral

Explanation:

The Chartres Cathedral began construction in 1145 and was rebuilt after a fire in 1194.

The interior impresses with the 37 m high that reaches the central nave as well as the harmony and elegant proportions, although unfortunately most of the original statuary has already been lost.

The Gothic churches had their apse facing southeast and their facade facing northwest and the transects forming the arms of the cross were oriented northeast and southeast, so that the faithful entering from the west would go to the sanctuary in the east, facing the sunrise.

Notre-Dame de Chartres Church stood out in the Middle Ages, bearing the title of Europe's largest Gothic cathedral. The place is a sanctuary of worship that caught the eye amid beautiful medieval buildings, and at a time when art was essentially religious, it became a center of purification where thousands of travelers converged in search of spiritual and physical comfort. .

The cathedral was built on an old Romanesque church and was the second Gothic style church in Europe. It began to be built in 1020 and was inaugurated in 1064.
