(CNN) The cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris is home to various artifacts, artwork and relics collected over the centuries, each with its own story. A "forest" of wooden latticework fueled the fire, bringing down the iconic spire and consuming the roof, whose framework dated back to the 13th century, according to Msgr. Patrick Chauvet, the cathedral's rector. They were just two features in a historic structure renowned for its architecture and other noteworthy features. • The Rose Windows are a trio of immense round stained-glass windows over the cathedral's three main portals that date back to the 13th century.
