See how it was designed and contructed through a close-up look at the vaulted arches, the vaulted ceilings that strived to reach the heavens, and the mystical stained glass windows. Dramatic stories are told of the people of this time through their prosperity and despair. This award-winning program gives us a view of the cultural and religious forces that shaped the great cathedrals' contruction.
