In the game

The royal chapel inside the Palais de la Cité, with tall walls of stained glass.

The real place

Louis IX built the Sainte-Chapelle in the 1240s to hold relics including the Crown of Thorns. Its upper chapel has 15 windows with over 1,100 stained-glass scenes, most of them original.

Visiting

Go on a sunny morning for the best light through the glass. A combined ticket covers the Conciergerie next door.
