Ceiling Above Apse, Almudena Cathedral, Madrid, Spain #232856527
Description
The interior of the Almudena Cathedral in the Spanish capital of Madrid has a very different style from the exterior: outside it`s Neo-Renaissance, inside it`s Neo-Gothic. The architectural structure is powerfully vertical and there is also the striking contrast between the bare white wall and contrasting notes of almost fluorescent color that appear here and there, in addition to the beautiful effect of the gold leaves on the painted ceiling. These are inspired by the style of traditional Arabesque-style ceilings called mudéjares. The apse has brightly coloured decorations strikingly different from what you find in most churches.
