Lisbon Cathedral. The Catholic Church was one of the first Western entities that actually paid for artwork. Hence the size and subject matter...

This stunning photo captures the interior of the Lisbon Cathedral, also known as Sé de Lisboa, the oldest church in Lisbon. The architectural style is predominantly Romanesque, with thick stone columns, high vaulted ceilings, and semicircular arches. The warm lighting adds a dramatic effect, highlighting the ancient stonework and depth of the nave. The view leads toward an ornate altar with religious artwork and floral arrangements, likely indicating a special occasion or ceremony.

Lisbon’s beautiful cathedral. It was built shortly after the city was captured from its Islamic rulers in 1147. Romanesque in style, it was very badly damaged in the earthquake of 1755, but has since been restored. #lisbon #lisboncathedral #portugal
