Saint Étienne's cathedral contains six stages of structural modification. Construction began in 1220 and ended in 1520; however, further changes were undertaken up until the 20th century. The total glass surface comprised by its windows amounts to 6500 square meters, the largest in France. It lies on the hill which throughout the centuries (millennia actually) has been the seat of political power and religious cult. It is an awe inspiring view, especially at night when illuminated.
