Gothic is considered by some to be the quintessential style of medieval architecture. The term was originally used with derision by Renaissance artists who associated its "ugliness" with the Gothic tribes who helped bring down the Roman empire. In reality, Goths had nothing to do with creating this style of architecture, which later scholars learned to appreciate for its own unique, majestic beauty.
Notre Dame was begun in the mid-twelfth century, at the height of medieval creativity and popular spirituality. It took more than 200 years to complete, although the choir, the western facade, and the nave were finished by 1250. Today, its three rose windows still retain glass put in place in the 13th century.
