Comment

The two towers of the western façade are not exactly twins. The north tower (left) is slightly stronger and wider than the south tower, which is easily noticed when looking at the whole from the center of the square. This difference is due to the fact that the north buttress of the north tower is much wider than the south buttress of the south tower on the level of the balcony of the Virgin on the façade. 400 steps lead up to the Chimera Gallery and the legendary 13-ton drone, and finally to the panoramic terrace. The "Victor Hugo" tour includes a sound system for the bells and explanatory panels.
