Lamp, Palma Cathedral, Palma de Mallorca, Majorca

Iron lamps hanging in Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma or La Seu, Palma de Mallorca, Majorca, Balearic Islands, Spain. The Bishop of Majorca, Pere Campins, asked the architect Antoni Gaudi in 1899 to help in the restoration of the Cathedral. Gaudi was involved from 1903 to 1914 and installed several forged iron lamps and candelabra. The Roman Catholic cathedral was originally built on the site of a mosque and is a huge building in Catalan Gothic style. It was begun by King James I of Aragon in 1229 and finished in 1601. It towers over the old city of Palma overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Picture by Manuel Cohen
