Notre Dame Cathedral, is the most important of all of france, and one of the most important of the World. It represents the gothic art, th estructure of the church is awesome.
The gothic art is the one i most like, it looks dark, elegante and with a touch of fear that make the church look imponent.
As in all other gothic churches, notre dame has gargoyles on the corners., made of stone. Gargoyles represents protection to the church, gargoyles are made with strange forms representing humans, monsters and even demons.
The special function of gargoyles was scaring the sinners from the church, and protect the temple against other invasors. These sculptures are made with a caracteristical form, very detailed in each part. The ones in the picture above has feathers, which look very realístic.
