Architectural Detail of Sainte Chapelle

The Saint Chapelle in Paris, built in 7 years and consecrated in 1248 was built to hold holy relics. It's famous for its 15-meter high stained glass windows that make the place a vessel of light. The ceiling details and gothic arches are also very beautiful, and often overlooked as a photographic subject.
