Description: Transverse section of the cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris, showing the triangular wooden roof trusses supporting the sheet-lead roof. The trusses and rafters are highlighted in yellow (please note that only the exterior shape of the framing appears to be accurate). Below this wooden framing, the curved masonry vault forms the interior ceiling. Both frames and vault were heavily damaged in the 2019 fire.
