Because of its size and its location on the top of the highest hill in the town, it dominates the cityscape. The structure in the foreground at right is the Chapel of St. Foi. According to Clerval, it was one of the principal parish churches of Chartres. He says the present building was restored many times, especially in the 16th century.; West Façade
