Cathedrals were certainly meant to symbolize religious fervour but also the power of a country and were meant to surpass those that already existed. This was what was intended for Notre Dame de Paris, a Gothic masterpiece, initiated by King Louis VII in 1163. It was to be the object of constant work, whether for its embellishment or its restoration, all while hosting marriages, ceremonies, coronations and consecrations etc. Viollet le Duc partly carried out its restoration; modern laser techniques have allowed the splendour of yesteryear to return to its stones.

Being a fervent admirer of the Roman Civilization, he decided upon the construction of a triumphal arch, retracing his army's various victories which was to tower over the avenue of the Champs Elysées. Originally, arches symbolised peace because soldiers returning from campaigns had to leave their weapons there, the arch marked the entrance to the city. After this they became symbols for armies' victories. The Arch on the Place de l'Etoile took from 1805 to 1835 to construct because successive regime changes delayed completion of the monument.

In the 16th century, François I had the Hôtel de Ville rebuilt in the renaissance style of the times. In the 19th century it was the theatre and the site of great and significant events like the proclamation of the 2nd and 3rd Republics. During the fall of the Second French Empire the Hôtel de Ville was burnt down but was to be rebuilt exactly as it was from 1873 to 1882.

The project of a huge Tower, submitted by two engineers of Gustave Eiffel workshop: KOECHLIN and NOUGUIER, was rightly chosen. The famous French engineers financed the project and were given naming rights. The construction of the Tower took place from 1887 to 1889 and President Sadi CARNOT inaugurated the Tower. Resting on 4 feet symbolizing the 4 points of the compass, the Tower is 320m high (300 in the past), and weighs 10,000 tons (including 60 tons of mere paint). The appearance of T.S.F. (Téléphonie Sans Fil, wireless telephony) saved the Tower from being destroyed. It's one of the most famous and visited buildings in the world. Minor changes to sound more natural.

El proyecto de una torre gigantesca fué presentada por dos ingenieros del taller de Gustavo Eiffel: KOECHLIN y NOUGUIER. El famoso ingeniero francés financiarÃa el proyecto y se le asociarÃa su nombre para asà asegurar la construcción de la torre entre los años de 1887 a 1889. El presidente Sadi Carnot procedió a su inauguración. Reposando sobre 4 pies que simbolizan los cuatro puntos cardinales, la torre tiene una altura de 320 metros (anteriormente 300) y un peso de 10,000 toneladas ( de las cuales 60 son únicamente de pintura). La aparición de la T. S. F. (Comunicaciones por Radio) la salva de ser destruida. Ella es uno de los monumentos más conocidos y visitados del mundo. Go to page 29 November 2009 17:30 - Submitted by ip 79.103.4.3 Ayuntamiento Al principio, este monumento simbolizaba la independencia de la ciudad de ParÃs respecto del poder real de Jean II y Carlos V; libertades adquiridas en 1357 por el Prevoto de los Vendedores, de quienes Etienne Marcel era el representante. En el siglo XVI, François Ier hizo reconstruir el ayuntamiento al estilo renacentista de la época. En el siglo XIX, fue el teatro y el lugar de los grandes y notables acontecimientos como la proclamación de la segunda y la tercera República. A la caÃda del Segundo Imperio, el ayuntamiento fué incendiado, pero posteriormente fué reconstruido a su estado original idéntico de 1873 a 1882.
