Around Seville [2] The Cathedral

In my first night around Seville I made one significant stop (which was non-food related). I visited the Cathedral in Seville, final resting place of Christopher Columbus.


Wall structure reminds me home.

Impressive facade overlooks the city.

I have to say that this fabric shading system not only looks beautiful, but it is very effective as well. I wish others in Puerto Rico could see that effectiveness of such an instrument. Concrete coverings are not the only solution to certain problems.

You know me, there needs to be some typography involved.

Impressive spatial sensation is provoked by the space.

A nice vertical play is at work in this interior space. Massive columns are actors in this play of architecture.

I really wonder if any of these vaults are filled with clay jars, just like it happened at Iglesia San José.

Even though it is a national icon, it still remains a church for those who wish to meditate, talk to god, etc.

Graphic tiles. Nothing less could have been expected.

When more is just definitively more.

More ceiling vaults.

And just in case, just a bit more ceiling vaults.

I wonder if this organ still works… but I have a feeling it does.

Huge space. Makes me feel so small.

6:00pm was rung when I was standing here. Ouch!
