The cathedral’s three great rose windows alone retain their 13th-century glass.Notre-Dame de Paris, by Victor Hugo. At the cathedral’s east end, the apse has large clerestory windows (added 1235–70) and is supported by single-arch flying buttresses of the more daring Rayonnant Gothic style, especially notable for their boldness and grace. The two towers are 223 feet (68 metres) high the spires with which they were to be crowned were never added.

Two massive early Gothic towers (1210–50) crown the western facade, which is divided into three stories and has its doors adorned with fine early Gothic carvings and surmounted by a row of figures of Old Testament kings. The interior of the cathedral is 427 by 157 feet (130 by 48 metres) in plan, and the roof is 115 feet (35 metres) high. Its central spire was added during restoration in the 19th century, replacing the original, which had been completely removed in the 18th century because of instability. Notre-Dame Cathedral consists of a choir and apse, a short transept, and a nave flanked by double aisles and square chapels.
