5/46.- Alsace, Strasbourg, cathedral
The Strasbourg cathedral was built between the
11th and the 15th century. The tower is 142 meters
high. During the French Revolution, the destruction
of the tower was ordered. To save it, the
inhabitants of Strasbourg put a red revolutionary
bonnet on top. But the revolutionary iconoclasts
did damage quite a few of the statues.
