This a picture of a Romanesque Window from one of the lateral walls of Lisbon’s Cathedral.
Ninth centuries ago in 1160 Afonso Henriques, first King of Portugal, founded the cathedral, Thirteen years after he captured the city from the Moors.
This was meant to demonstrate who held power in Lisbon from then on. It is thought that old building materials dating in part from the time before the Moors, were incorporated. Apparently after the conquest of the city the Arabs converted a church, which had existed since the early fourth century, and used it as a mosque. Materials dating from pre Arabic times were found, including a West Gothic frieze, which was damaged by the gases emitted by the destruction. It has been restored and can be seen in the cloister.

Hi Teresa,
Nice detail from this imposant building and very well shown.
I could have sworn it was a gothic window seeing the pointed shape of the arches. The inner window seems romanesc and so do the solid walls, though.
Thanks afor sharing this fine picture and regards, Gerrit

Hi Teresa,
Good POV. The window design is very attractive. The arch supported by small columns is a good idea.
Thanks for sharing.

Very nice shades and textures in this stonework teresa. Nice POV too. Thanks for sharing.
Greetings

Hi Teresa,
Nice POV giving a fine composition!
I like the quite high contrast here as I think it enhances the colours and gives structure to the wall... Nice details and good depth thanks to different hues inside the window
Greetings,

Olá Teresa,
Simples com um bom enquadramento esta janela gótica que capturou. Boa luz, cor e um pouco mais de "sharpness" podia melhorar mais a definição. Bem visto e bem realizada esta captura e composição. Parabéns e uma boa semana para si.

Olá Teresa!

I like very much the symmetrycal composition and the rose tones of the stone. The exposure is very good my friend, allowing for details inside the window.

Um beijo e una ótima semana,
Carlos

Bonjour Teresa
Thanks for showing such a delicate architecture.
The only missing point is the sight of Juliet throwing flowers to her Romeo!!!
Cheers!
Robert

I like this window, the simmetry is nice, and the colors too.
In the top looks more wide in the bottom more narrow, do you know how I can change this in my pictures?

Thank youo for show is your job

Teresa,
Outro excelente fotografia sua para documentar a beleza das janelas de Lisboa. Os detalhes estão vivamente captados e pode-se constatar a idade dessa construção.

Um abraço

Paulo
