Sainte-Chapelle

I was looking forward to this chapel. It's out last so before travelling to London. It has over 1,000 pieces of stained glass, 70% are the original. The chapel was built to house relics of the Passion.

The chapel is two chapels in one, with one on top of the other. You walk into the lower chapel first, I was a little underwhelmed. Where is all the stained glass? There is some, but nothing like what I was expecting. Then we found the stairs to the upper chapel...

The upper chapel is amazing. Almost floor to ceiling stained glass panels. Each tell a story, being different books from the Bible. The appear more blue or purple depending on the light. Simply stunning.Baca lagi
