    Palace Quinta da Regaleira - Chapel

    21 september 2023, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F

    》Templar Chapel

    This beautiful, delicate building, decorated with Manuelian floral motifs is the most elegant place of worship. The design contrasts elaborate patterning with simple white washed walls. Inside, the alter selectively uses gold leaf such that it enhances the beauty of the chapel, instead of overwhelming it with its overuse. If the walls of the chapel seem golden at times, it is because they have been hit by sunlight.

    This chapel is thoroughly fascinating. Although Christian in design, it shows how no religious belief is ever truly separate from all the others that have come before. Apart from the usual Catholic imagery and statues, the chapel also spotted pentagrams surrounding the Order of the Christ Cross and the symbol of the Free Masons on the ceiling of the doorway.
