Describe a historical building you have been to
You should say:
Where it is
What it looks like
What it is used for now
What you learned there
And how you felt about this historical building
A historical building I have visited is Notre-Dame, which is located in Paris, France.
I paid a visit there with my family members while we were touring around Europe during the summer of 2016 as it has been regarded as one of the must-see places in France.
Honestly, I didn’t take it seriously before going there because I knew nothing except for the little information from the book THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME and its adapted movie. But, when I was there, I was stunned by this grand Catholic cathedral.
As it was in a bay area, it’s height made it quite an eye-catcher. What I’ve learned the most was about the cultural perspectives. There were so many religious elements that I had never heard about. For instance, some sculptures depicted some scenes of the last judgment from the Holy Bible such as weighing the souls, which was so interesting. You know, I didn’t get much exposure to Christianity, but there’s indeed something equivalent like Yanwangye (King of Hell), who was also regarded as a power to weigh the good and evil. Also, the interior design of it was breathtaking, so many beautiful mosaics about those sacred stories.
Well, I felt this historical building was so meaningful to me as it gave me a brand new perspective of the world. You know, I also feel so sorry for the recent catastrophic fire that engulfed the upper reaches of this precious building of human civilization. I hope the renovation could carry on and finish smoothly.
