Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #35: Architecture

March 4, 2019March 2, 2019Mei-Mei

After some close-ups of architecture last week, let’s take a step back.

The cathedral in Palma de Mallorca, called La Seu there, is a classic example of Gothic ecclesiastical architecture. It was begun in 1229 and completed in 1601. The interior shows the expected grand nave, pointed arches, and rose window…with a few surprises.

Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí helped redesign some of the interior in the early 20th century. Over the altar is a canopy reminiscent of the one at Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.

You can find more architecture at the original Lens-Artist challenge.

Beautiful – and I never knew Gaudí had something to do with this…but I can see it now you mention it.

  Yes, that canopy design has Gaudi’s fingerprints all over it! So creative.
