Elaborate stone sculptures decorate the gothic Notre-Dame de Paris, the famous Catholic cathedral in the French capital that features the West Facade with its central doorway that includes these six standing saints carved on the left doorjamb (left to right): Bartholomew, Simeon, James the Less, Andrew, John and Peter. Known as the Portal of the Last Judgment, the ornate doorway was built in the 1220s-1230s as the last of three main entrances to the church. This photograph was taken before the historic church suffered major damage by a disastrous fire in April, 2019, and was closed for repairs
