The Heart of Andalusia

by
A huge retable (Capilla Mayor) which depicts 36 scenes from the Old Testament and the life of Chris. This piece of art took over 40 years in the making!
A burst of color to the other ochre interior.
A gothic looking interior wall flanked by sculptures of trumpeting angels.
Beautiful arches, alternating between dark and light.
Stained glass window and detailed masonry work.
A closer look at the Capilla Mayor. There are over 30 biblical scenes depicted here. Not easy to see the details from far away!
High arches, vaulted ceilings amidst a warm yellow hue – even the interior looks gothic.
The huge organ of the cathedral. Performances are still being conducted here.
The choir room. The stalls look appropriately gothic as well.
Ornate ceiling, Spain.

The blue light well. The tiles get darker in color as they go higher. Probably to brighten up the lower levels even more.
Procession of skulls… The “jaws” are actually ventilators to circulate the air.
