EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and feast your eyes on the awe-inspiring exterior of Strasbourg Cathedral, a magnificent architectural masterpiece located in the heart of Bas-Rhin, France. This iconic landmark, completed in the 15th century, is the second largest cathedral in all of France and a prime example of Gothic architecture. The intricate details of its facade, adorned with ornate carvings, gargoyles, and pointed arches, are a testament to the craftsmanship of the artisans who built it. The cathedral's most striking feature is its towering spire, which reaches a height of 142 meters (466 feet) and dominates the Strasbourg skyline. At the base of the spire, a beautiful rose window, one of the largest in Europe, adds to the cathedral's allure. But the wonders of Strasbourg Cathedral don't end on the outside. Inside, visitors can marvel at the vaulted ceilings, intricate frescoes, and stained glass windows. One of the cathedral's most unique features is its astronomical clock, which dates back to the Renaissance. This fascinating clock, located on the southwest tower, not only tells the time but also displays the phases of the moon, the zodiac signs, and even the solstices and equinoxes. This photograph, taken in the 1910s, captures the timeless beauty of Strasbourg Cathedral, a true treasure of European history and culture.
