[00:00:00]Number 45, Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris, France, 1163 to 1345 CE. Notre Dame took nearly two centuries to build, which is a wonderful reminder that medieval project schedules were not exactly fast track. Rising on the Île de la Cité in Paris, the cathedral became one of the great achievements of Gothic architecture.

[00:00:24]Flying buttresses, pointed arches, ribbed vaults, stained glass, and towers, all working together to lift stone higher than seemed reasonable.

[00:00:34]But, the strangest [music] thing about Notre Dame may be its endurance. It survived revolutions, neglect, war, changing tastes, and the devastating fire of 2019.

[00:00:46]Each generation has left marks on it, repaired it, argued over it, and claimed it [music] as part of the city's soul.

[00:00:53]Notre Dame is not just a building. It is Paris remembering itself in stone.
