Portail Royal
Place de la Cathédrale, Chartres 28000 - France

Map
After the great fire that destroyed the original cathedral, the new building was constructed, which is recognised as one of the masterpieces of western architecture. However, a piece of the old church survived, the Portail Royal, the only one of the towers that rise above the town that pre-dates the 1194 catastrophe. Decorated with Romanesque figurines that represent the crucifixion and the ascension, this is a piece of living history that mustn’t be missed.
