Another masterpiece of Gothic architecture, Sainte Chapelle is a small chapel situated inside the walls of the Palais de Justice. Dating back to medieval times, it was consecrated in 1248 and one of its most special features is the illumination provided by a curtain of luminous 13th-century stained glass.

It was originally intended to hold what was believed to have been Jesus’ crown of thorns and other precious relics that had been acquired by King Louis IX.
