ROCKEFELLER CENTER, Saint Patrick's Cathedral Interior

The moment you step into the Cathedral, you’ll be struck by the verticality typical of Neo-Gothic style, and by the predominantly blue shades of the polychrome windows that discreetly seek to illuminate the huge interior, topped with a magnificent cross vault.

The church, as you can see, has a Latin cross ground plan, with three naves.

Start by exploring the central nave, walking among the slender “pillars of the earth”, and when you’re about to reach the high altar, with the numerous chapels looking onto the aisles at both sides of you, take a seat on one of the many pews. Focus on this central element, created completely in white marble, and preceded, in the corresponding niches, by the statues of four angels, and observe the bronze baldachin. Before you get up to take a closer look, take a look behind you for a moment…spectacular, isn’t it?

I don’t just mean the huge rose window, but also the striking main organ above the central portal, with five keyboards and almost six thousand pipes!...
