| The construction was carried out, unusually, from the west to the east, beginning in the nave. | WIKI |
| The nave was completed in 1236, and by 1269, the upper windows of the choir were in place. | WIKI |
| The old medieval rood screen between the choir and nave was replaced by an ornate iron grill choir screen, so that the parishioners in the nave could see the altar. | WIKI |
| The original 13th-century flxc3xa8che, or spire of the cathedral, located over the crossing point of the transept and nave, was destroyed by lightning in 1528, but was replaced by a new flxc3xa8che, constructed of a wooden frame covered with gilded lead plates. | WIKI |
| The statues on the flxc3xa8che, made of lead, represent Christ (facing the nave); Saint Paul, Saint Firmin (wearing a Bishop's mitre); Saint John the Evangelist; The Virgin Mary crowned and holding the infant Jesus; Saint John the Baptist; Saint James the Great and Saint Peter. | WIKI |
| The flying buttresses are the architectural feature that made possible the exceptional height of the walls of the nave and choir. | WIKI |
| [26] The buttresses of the nave are older, from about 1230, and each pier has two arches, one above the other. | WIKI |
| They both make a single jump to the wall of the nave; one arch meets the wall just above the point of maximum outward thrust from the vaults; the other just below. | WIKI |
| The flying buttresses between the bays supporting the upper walls of the choir The early buttresses of the nave, drawn by Viollet-Le-Duc (c. 1230) The later reinforced double buttresses of the choir (c. 1260) | WIKI |
| The nave[edit] | WIKI |
| The nave and the transept were the areas where the public worshiped, while the choir was reserved for clergy. | WIKI |
| At Amiens, the Nave followed the model of the Early Gothic Chartres Cathedral and Soissons Cathedral. | WIKI |
| The Baroque pulpit and the nave The upper windows of the nave | WIKI |
| The Baroque pulpit, on the north side of the nave, was installed in 1773. | WIKI |
| The centre of the transept, where it crosses the nave, is covered by a massive star vault, one of the earliest in France, supported by four massive pillars. | WIKI |
| The elevation has three levels, like the nave; the arcades, triforium and the clerestory at the top. | WIKI |
| Transept and north stained glass windows The star vault of the transept, where it meets the nave South transept rose window (16th century) | WIKI |
| A labyrinth in the centre of the floor of the nave was a common feature of early and High Gothic cathedrals; they were also found in the cathedrals of Sens, Chartres, Arras and Reims. | WIKI |

| In addition to the chapels at the east end, small chapels occupy both sides of the nave and angles of the transept. | WIKI |
| Other objects of interest are found in the chapels along the nave and transept. | WIKI |
| Thanks to the thin stone mullions that separate the group of lancet windows and the small circular windows on the upper levels, and the massive buttresses on the exterior that provided support for the walls, the individual windows in each bay seemed to merge into one great window, filling the nave below with light. | WIKI |
| The rigorous coherence of its plan, with the perfect symmetry of the nave and choir on either side of the transept, the beauty of its three-tier interior elevation, the audacious lightness of its structure that marks a new stage towards the conquest of luminosity, the wealth of its sculpted decoration and its stained glass makes it one of the most remarkable examples of medieval architecture. | UNESCO |
