  constructions are testifying of a long-gone past.
  Some are famous and others are not in many

  humble, but they are all part of Pariss
  landmarks and Frances history.

  Sainte-Chapelle was built in the 13th century for
  King Louis IX as an architectural jewel box to
  house his collection of important relics,
  including the Crown of Thorns. The soaring
  stained glass windows tell the story of the Bible
  from Genesis to the Passion of Christ in over
  1,000 brilliantly colored panels.
