Sainte Chapelle and Conciergerie Tickets

Located in the heart of the beautiful city of Paris, the Sainte Chapelle and Conciergerie are two architectural marvels which are amongst the earliest surviving buildings of the Capetian Royal Palace on the Ile De La Cité. With your Sainte Chapelle and Conciergerie tickets, visit these two achievements of the Rayonnant period built in Gothic architecture style. The Sainte Chapelle was built under the order of King Louis IX to house the precious collection of religious and cultural relics while the Conciergerie was once a state prison but now open to the public.

Tracing back to the Gothic era, the Sainte Chapelle was patronized to be built by King Louis IX in the 13th century. Located in the courtyard of the Conciergerie, the Chapel was completed in 1248 to house the relics of the Passion of Christ. This greatest work of the middle ages adorned with stained glass walls took 7 years to be built. The Conciergerie of the Île De La Cité has a long history behind it. Considered the most beautiful structure in Europe at the time, it was constructed in the 10th century and belonged to the Kings of France. However, later in 1310, it was converted into a state prison where prisoners were locked up until their execution. In 1914, the prison was closed and now the monument can be visited by tourists with their tickets for Sainte Chapelle and Conciergerie.
