The cathedral Notre Dame de Strasbourg

Our first stop in Strasbourg was to see the magnificent cathedral, Notre Dame de Strasbourg. It was built in the 12th century and is amazing. It was far more beautiful with all the carvings than the famous Notre Dame in Paris. There is a clock inside the cathedral that has moving figures when it chimes at 12:30. We missed the performance because we were looking for the clock on the outside and it was on the inside of the cathedral. When it was built, it was the tallest building in the world at the time.
