Breathtaking, indeed! I still think you should work for National Geographic.
xxoo, m & jb
Right! That is breath-taking!
I'm not a particularly religious person, but I absolutely adore visiting old churches! They're always so peaceful inside! This one is exceptional!
I wouldn't call that a chapel - much too large...
But you are right, it is spectacular beyond words!!! I love the stained glass, and that macro of the door on your way out!!!
i love the pointed arches. so stunning and impressive.
What a beautiful church. I loved seeing that gorgeous stained glass and all the rich wood and all the brass and the... well, you get the picture! Thanks for sharing!
It's stunning, and you got some beautiful pictures. It's hard to believe that something so extravagant could have been built when our country was at such an economic low-point. It must have provided a lot of jobs for some very skilled workers.

I would think it would be a bit overwhelming to attend a service there! Such an impressive interior! Wow!
These are really beautiful, Debbie.
I love the colors and light.
Breathtaking describes this post well Debbie, magnificent is another word i would use. Thank you for sharing this beautiful place with us.
You are right, just breathtaking. I would love to go visit someday.
Lovely place! That organ is amazing. Nice interior shots. Not always easy to get them. You did a great job.
I was thinking the same as Charade, very expensive for that time in our history. I thought it was a waste of resources at first. I didn't think of the jobs, it created, though. Now I say, "Bravo!"
So awe-inspiring! I love the colors in the window over the altar.
Wooww ... How wonderful, I love vidrieras.Preciosas. Debbie.
Good Wednesdays.

Oh, wow. I love ornate churches like this. Love being inside the quiet and feeling like it's one step away from heaven. Beautiful pics!!
I would say that your pictures of the chapel are breath taking. I love the stain class and it is just a lovely place. I can just imagine the services in a lovely chapel like this.
Blessings for these outstanding pictures.
Awesome! I love stained glass with light streaming through.

That is beautiful and the organ something else
I was drawn to your initial photograph, but the rest are equally stunning. What a graceful, majestic, church. Love the stained glass - you've captured it really well too.
Yes, breathtaking. These elaborate old cathedrals and church buildings are a sight to behold.
