A close-up interior view of one of the three beautiful rose windows in the gothic Notre-Dame de Paris, the famous Catholic cathedral in the French capital that is one of Europe's most popular tourist attractions. This photograph of the large circular stained-glass window was taken before the historic church suffered major damage by a disastrous fire in April, 2019. Rose windows, originally known as wheel windows, depict Biblical scenes or characters in smaller round windows that radiate from the center like wheel spokes or flower petals. Notre Dame's rose windows date to the mid-13th Century.
