The Cathedral of Notre Dame of the Assumption, built in 1248, is an impressive Gothic landmark from Clermont Ferrand, France. 🖤 The volcanic stone and Gothic architecture make it one of France’s most distinctive cathedrals. Construction continued for centuries, and in the 19th century, Eugène Viollet le Duc completed the unfinished structure, including its two 96 meter towers. The most distinctive feature is its dark volcanic lava stone, sourced from nearby Volvic, which gives the cathedral its almost black appearance. #notredame #gothic #france #fyp
