Detail, Tour des Minimes, Chateau d'Amboise

Sulptural detail on the rib-vaults of the ceiling of the interior ramp of the Tour des Minimes, with figures holding the coat of arms of the House of Valois with 3 fleur de lys, at the Chateau d'Amboise, a medieval castle of the Loire Valley which became a royal residence in the 15th century and was largely reworked in the 15th and 16th centuries, at Amboise, Indre-et-Loire, Centre, France. The tower has a wide, shallow ramp large enough to allow horses and carriages access to the royal residence. The chateau is listed as a historic monument and is part of the Loire Valley UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
