This much longer video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XN0VDdtz6Eg ) shows much more detailed views of the facade statuary with identification and explanation of the reason for the drastically different styles, the different colors of the windows, and includes a tour up the inside of one of the towers.

i am continually amazed at what a human mind can conceive and what human hands can build.
