Inside, a Gothic cathedral utilizes a high nave (the central or open space of a church), supported by the flying buttresses on the outside, and with three aisles in the interior.  In the Chartres Cathedral, one end has five semi-circular radiating chapels.<ref>http://www.sacred-destinations.com/france/chartres-cathedral.htm</ref>

The west facade of the Chartres Cathedral (see right) is not Gothic, but is Romanesque in architecture.  It was built earlier, in 1150 before a fire ignited by lightning destroyed the other parts.  That facade was left intact as the rest of the church was rebuilt, leaving the Chartres Cathedral today with both the Romanesque and Gothic styles of architecture in different parts of the same church!
