The beauty of vaulted ceilings can be seen in various architectural wonders around the world. Durham Cathedral, built in 1893 by an unknown creator, showcases a stunning example of this structural design. The chancel vault at Christ Church Cathedral, created by William Orchard circa 1500, adds to the grandeur of the space. Traveling to Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, one cannot miss the Catalan Gothic church of Santa Maria del Mar with its awe-inspiring vaulted ceiling. Similarly captivating is the interior of St Marks Basilica in Venice, Italy; its soaring ceilings leave visitors in awe. Even historic castles like Eastnor Castle in Hertfordshire boast impressive designs such as those found within the drawing room's decoration plan from around 1850. Grundvigs Church in Copenhagen also features a remarkable interior with its vaulted ceiling adding to its charm. Norwich Cathedral's choir offers a breathtaking view looking east and was captured beautifully by an unknown artist back in 1898. Kings College Chapel in Cambridge stands tall with its majestic architecture dating back to 1864. Venturing into France brings us to Notre Dame's rose window and magnificent vaults - both recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites - showcasing Paris' rich cultural heritage. In Michoacan state lies Morelia Cathedral whose interior boasts intricate details on every surface including its mesmerizing ceiling. Heading south to Andalusia, Spain reveals Seville cathedral's stunning ceiling that leaves visitors gazing upwards for hours on end. Lastly but certainly not least is Cordoba's Mosque-Cathedral where Capilla Mayor or the main chapel displays another masterpiece of vaulted elegance recognized by UNESCO.
