STUDIO WEIL IN MALLORCA - Contemporary Architecture in Spain









CarMalaga.Com Tip: More about Mallorca - The Cathedral
The cathedral has three aisles, plus two side naves nestled under the buttresses. The architects'
main concern was to build the highest church in the Aragonese kingdoms. This obsession forced them to modify the initial plans halfway through to raise the central aisle, measuring 44 metres. The result was that a large part of the vaults had to be rebuilt in the eighteenth century. This vertical dimension is increased when contemplating the difference in height between the chevet and the rest of the building.
The interior seems to go one further, due to the height of the side naves and the slender pillars. If height is an obsession, width is also in evidence. The central aisle, which is double the width of the
side naves, is said to be the largest in Gothic architecture. Seven rose windows increase the sense of space; the largest, in the head wall of the central aisle, measuring seven metres across, illuminates the high altar. These proportions require short stretches in the central aisle, hence the proximity of the buttresses. The stained glass windows date from the sixteenth century.
