Question

This place was called an “edifice of transition” made by grafting together many styles while noting that “Great buildings, like great mountains, are the work of centuries”. Hundreds of years ago, climbing to the top of this place gave a “bird’s eye view” of a city divided by a river into three vibrant sections called the University, City, and Town. The Greek word ananke, meaning fate, was found engraved in a wall in this place, whose towers house the “grosse Marie” and her fourteen smaller siblings. While talking to Tourangeau, a man announced “this will kill that,” pointing respectively to a (*) book and this place. A woman from the Court of Miracles was rescued from hanging by a man who claimed the right of sanctuary in this place. That man dropped molten lead on vagabonds led by Clopin Trouillefou (“clo-PAN TRUEY-foo”) attacking this place, and later pushed Claude Frollo off its north tower.
