As i said in my last blog, The Cathedral in Burgos is totally amazing if you look at it from an architectural and craftsmanship point of view, Other than that its OTT and overly opulent, Showing off in its greatest sense, You have to see it to beleive it, Its huge and it goes on and on, Probably the greatest Catholic museum in the world after the Vatican
Whether its masonry, carpentry, paint,gilding,glass or whatever the craftsmanship would be outstanding today let alone hundreds of years ago, How it was made i have no idea, Its a monument to man and one of the Catholic Churches greatest assets
Fantastic carpentry and inlay work
Weird and wonderful Masonry
Beautiful stained glass
Amazing ornate sculptures
A silver coach
Everywhere you look there is amazing detail
Even in the ceilings
Probably a lifetimes work and there are hundreds of them
Marble sculptures in abaundance
Incredible detail
3D carving
Amazing ceiling detail
Perfectly preserved book over 400 years old
The coffin of El Cid
Spectacular in every way, Not to be missed, Even if you are a non believer,

ReplyDeleteI just found a card that Marian gave me after a hair appointment and decided to check out the blog. I love seeing the pictures and reading the updates. I found myself going back several days just to see what I missed.
