In the 21st century, people go to laser light shows in order to feel like they\u2019ve entered into a dream world. In the 13th century and beyond, though, Parisians and visitors to Paris just had to visit Sainte-Chapelle, a medieval chapel in the center of Paris that was built in the 1240s.<\/p>\n

Specifically, people came (and still come\u2014in droves) to gawk at the Sainte Chapelle stained glass. The stained glass that dominates this Gothic church is so stunning, you\u2019ll feel like you\u2019re in a laser light show. The 15, 45-foot-tall stained glass windows originally illustrated 1,113 scenes from the Old and New Testaments of the Bible.<\/p>\n
