Capilla Mayor, Gothic chapel in Cathedral of Burgos, Spain
The Capilla Mayor features intricate stone carvings, vertical lines, and large stained glass windows that filter light through Biblical scenes into the central space.
The chapel's construction began in 1221 as part of Burgos Cathedral, following French Gothic architectural principles introduced by Bishop Don Mauricio after his studies in Paris.
The chapel contains an ornate altarpiece created by Pedro Berruguete in the late 15th century, depicting important religious narratives through detailed craftsmanship.
Visitors can access the chapel through guided tours of Burgos Cathedral, which operates daily from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM with reduced hours during winter months.
The chapel hosts religious ceremonies and classical music concerts within its walls, where sound resonates against centuries-old stone structures and detailed Gothic elements.
