French President Emmanuel Macron provided a glimpse Friday of Paris' rescued and refurbished gothic masterpiece cathedral Notre-Dame, five years after it nearly succumbed to a massive fire.

The restored Notre Dame cathedral was unveiled Friday, five years after the catastrophic fire that shuttered it. The big picture: About 15 million visitors are expected to flock to the religious and tourist icon yearly following the ambitious renovation.

Reconstruction began in 2022 after a two-year “safety phase” to get the monument stable enough for workers. The restoration project raised $1 billion in pledged donations, with around $148 million remaining for future preservation, as of this month. Here’s a timeline of the repairs to restore the 861-year-old Gotchic-era landmark to its beauty.
