In Gothic churches, light is a storyteller.


How to Look

  • Identify narrative panels (saints, kings, prophets).
  • Note restorations—Victorian and modern insertions.

Columns and windows


Best Times

  • Morning: cool light in the nave; afternoon: warm hues in transepts.

Bottom Line

Follow the color; it leads you through time.

Я сделал это, чтобы вы могли спокойно насладиться Вестминстерским аббатством — умное время, мягкие маршруты и контекст, благодаря которому капеллы и истории звучат.
