Default Cathedral of the Madeleine II

The Cathedral of the Madeleine was started in 1900 and completed in 1909. The outside is designed in a more or less Neo-Romanesque style. The interior tends toward Neo-Gothic.

The cathedral was extensively renovated and restored in the early 1990s. It was rededicated on 21 Feb 1993.

I love the colors.A bonus is the reflection of the colored glass as the sun shined on the glass and reflected it on the wall.
Outstanding seriers captured by you.

Thanks all! I love this building. I was really lucky to be there when the light from the stained glass window was shining on the mural.
