History
The Sainte-Chapelle, built in the mid-13th century by King Louis IX, was designed to house sacred relics, including the Crown of Thorns. Considered a jewel of Gothic architecture, it is world-renowned for its immense stained glass windows, which depict over 1,000 biblical scenes. When sunlight streams through, the chapel transforms into a kaleidoscope of colors, creating one of the most breathtaking sights in Paris.
Next door stands the Conciergerie, a former royal palace turned Revolutionary prison. Originally part of the Palais de la Cité, the Conciergerie became infamous during the French Revolution as the holding place for Queen Marie-Antoinette and countless others before their executions. Its medieval halls and preserved prison cells offer a powerful look into the turbulent past of France.
Together, these two monuments showcase the spiritual grandeur and revolutionary history of Paris, making them essential stops for anyone wishing to understand the city’s cultural and political heritage.
