Notre dame in Paris has burned down

[Antonio]

but almost the entire building is ok and they can just rebuild the spire and whatnot.

Yeah but it's still 300 million in damages.

Wasn’t the original part of the building built centuries ago though??

Google says original construction started in 1160, and was largely completed in 1260. It's been modified since then, though.

I mean, technically it was, but 'centuries' paints the picture a bit better. It's terrible that a lot of that physical history is gone.
