Stained Glass Windows of La Sainte-Chapelle, Paris, France

La Sainte-Chapelle (“The Holy Chapel”) is one of the only surviving buildings of the Capetian royal palace on the Ile de la Cite in the heart of Paris, France. It was commissioned by King Louis IX of France to house his collection of Passion Relics, including the Crown of Thorns – one of the most important relics in medieval Christendom. Sainte-Chapelle is famous, and rightly so, for its spectacular stained glassed windows. If you like this, you may enjoy seeing more photos of Paris. Cheers and thanks for looking!
