Why It Matters
The chapel demonstrates how light and color in architecture can transport the soul — beauty in its most transcendent form.
The Experience
Sainte-Chapelle feels like walking inside a jewel box of light. Its upper chapel contains some of the finest medieval stained glass in the world — over 1,100 biblical scenes glowing in radiant color. It is architecture as pure spiritual experience.
