Smokes ascends as flames rise during a fire at the landmark Notre-Dame Cathedral in central Paris on April 15, 2019.Video footage from the scene showed flames and smoke spewing from the landmark, one of the city's most popular tourist destinations in the world. Tourists and locals took to social media to document the blaze.

It's construction began in the 12th century, and it took about 300 years to complete.
