Visit Sainte-Chapelle, a significant architecture built for religious and political purposes in France, where Christ’s Crown of Thorns was also housed. Consecrated on 26 April 1248 and recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the chapel stands in the heart of Palais de la Cité. See the ceremonial staircase, towering ceilings, and observe the glass windows that show 1,113 scenes from the Bible's Old and New Testaments, telling the story of the world until the arrival of the relics in Paris.
