So it was that early in the middle ages, a small town banded together and created one of the greatest Christian sanctuaries the world has ever known. In many ways, it would set the standard for all other gothic cathedrals: It is the Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartres. Chartres Cathedral stands on a hill above the river Eure, in the town of Chartres. Its spires rise like beacons on the horizon, and can bee seen miles away.
