Saint-Etienne Cathedral. a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. is listed twice on the World Heritage List. both individually and under the *Roads of Santiago de Compostela in France*. The UNESCO commission notes that *the Cathedral of Bourges is of great importance in the development of Gothic architecture and because it is a symbol of the power of the Christian religion in Medieval France. However. its fundamental qualities remain its striking beauty. resulting from a masterful management of a space of harmonious proportions and decoration of the highest quality.*
