-------------------------------
From the beginning, the ribbed vault in our country had a remote version of the classic French vault with horizontal spines. The Spanish Gothic vault, already in its origins, adopts a rounded shape at its top, domed we would say. In the opinion of Juan Gil de Hontañón, this round shape increases the stability and firmness of the vault, the truth is that, by lowering the tops of the perpiaños and especially, the keys of the formeros, the height of the exterior perimeter of the building decreases considerably; The cornices are therefore lowered and with it the general cost of the factories.
In addition, as we mentioned previously, in our country the enormous Central European claristories are excluded at all points; Nor does the inclement sunshine of our latitudes allow it, nor, probably, the way in which religious experience is lived in southern Europe. Some of the vaults of the Cathedral of Segovia are an eloquent example of this way of conceiving the vault in our country.
The central axis of this cathedral contains some of the best Spanish Gothic vaults. This is an extraordinary opportunity to contemplate them in detail, with the gaze of the formidable stonework masters produced by the Spanish Gothic.

Desde un principio, la bóveda de crucería en nuestro país tuvo una versión alejadade la clásica bóveda francesa de espinazos horizontales. La bóveda gótica española,ya en sus orígenes, adopta un forma redondeada en su cúspide, cupulada diríamos. En opinión de Juan Gil de Hontañón, esta forma redonda acrecienta la estabilidady firmeza de la bóveda, lo cierto es que, al rebajar las cimas de los perpiaños y especialmente, las claves de los formeros, la altura del perímetro exterior del edificio desciende considerablemente; bajan por tanto las cornisas y con ello el coste general de las fábricas.
Además, como mencionamos anteriormente, en nuestro país quedan excluidos de todo punto los enormes claristorios centroeuropeos; ni lo permite el inclemente soleamiento de nuestras latitudes ni, probablemente, la manera en que se vive la experiencia religiosa en el sur de Europa. Algunas de las bóvedas de la catedral de Segovia son un elocuente ejemplo de esta manera de concebir la bóveda en nuestro país.
El eje central de esta catedral contiene algunos de los mejores abovedamientos del gótico español. Es esta una extraordinaria ocasión de contemplarlos en detalle, con la mirada de los formidables maestros de cantería que produjo el gotico español.

Hello Luis,
Both WS show good closer views of beautiful smaller parts, but the main photo is a fantastic wide view of the vault with its fine Gothic details. You placed yourself perfectly for a composition of fine symmetry and used the light cleverly. It is a most impressive architectural photo.
Best regards,
Gert

Hola Luis,
beautiful series of photos detailing the cathedral. There is so much to admire there. This ceiling here is very impressive. Your reportage truly encourages us to visit Segovia.
I am sorry you didn't have good weather at Mirador del Rio. I had also too many clouds on some days, but what can we do.
Did you go to La Graciosa?

Hola Luis,
Well executed the upwards view to the dome in the cathedral.
Effectively used the outside light to distinguish details.
Buenas dias,

eu tive tantos problemas para visitar segóvia que eu acho que sequer entrei na catedral, já não me lembro dela. eu queria dormir em plasencia e não havia ninguém que quisesse guardar minha mala, achavam que eu era um terrorista. apenas um dono de restaurante permitiu que eu deixasse a mala com ele.
lindos detalhes arquitetônicos com muito boa qualidade.
um abraço

Three magnificent pictures showing the beauty of the cathedral's architecture and artworks.
I really like both photos in the WS but your main picture gives us a stunning upwards view inside the cathedral.
Masterful photo of these beautiful vaults. Excellent sharpness, clarity and composition.

Hello Luis,
A fantastic photo with the gorgeous design of the vaults here. The shapes look good and clear in the fine lighting and I like the warm tones. Also the stained-glass windows are a good detail.

Hola Luis,
I wonder how many times I have said to myself, when in buildings like this, to look up!
You obviously didn't need reminding and captured this excellent study of the beautiful Gothic details of the vaulted ceiling and associated windows!
Not only did you capture the beautiful details but presented them in a fine, symmetrical composition.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)
