Image description

Whole artwork view. The ceiling of the Villaviciosa Chapel, one of the most precious rooms inside the Great Mosque, restored and rebuilt during the Reconquista; the light coming from the round and lobed skylights emphasises the crossing of eight squared nerves, diagonally linking the midpoints of the vault and framing the dome in the middle; either the central section and the spandrels host polylobed niches giving the appearance of a shell, ancient symbol of perfection. Maestranze romaniche spagnole Cordoba, Spain
