The Sainte-Chapelle, a jewel of a royal chapel, is a stunning embodiment of medieval Gothic architecture. Located within the Palais de la Cité, the former residence of the kings of France until the 14th century, the chapel was commissioned by King Louis IX to house his Passion relics, including Christ's Crown of Thorns. This remarkable two-story structure is a work of art with its extravagant stained glass collections depicting religious scenes from around the world and its majestic vaulted ceiling. On the exterior, a tower spire dominates the skyline, reminding all of the holy past of the site. The chapel's interior is just as special, including a lower level used by courtiers and palace soldiers and an upper level restricted for just the king and his guests. Step into this holy wonder and bask in history, grandeur and beauty. It truly is a sight to behold!
