entrance to the Cathedral
entrance to the Cabildo (Chapter House) - I think...I was so excited to go to Andalucía and actually see some art and architecture that wasn't overly Classical in nature. Yet somehow one of the most compelling (or so I think) photos of mine is of the ONE Renaissance addition to the otherwise Gothic Cathedral of Sevilla. I could go into an explanation for this, but it'll probably just bore the socks off of you. Regardless, the architecture, art and ornament found throughout Andalucía is pretty spectacular, even if the photos I took do not record it fully. All of it, whether Moorish or Gothic, drips with detail and ornament, and is less severe than its northern Gothic brethren in France and Germany.
