A Masterpiece in Gothic Architecture: The Cathedral of Burgos

I am fortunate enough to have a job enabling me to travel a lot around Europe. Concerning architecture and different architectural styles, it is a prosperous and exciting continent. Two historical architectural styles in particular are very distinct and closely linked to European history: The styles of Baroque and Gothic. While the baroque style is very opulent, colorful, and somewhat playful, the style of the French Sun King in the 17th century and the glorious Catholic church of its time, Gothic, on the other hand, is very different. It is a somewhat dark style, with many goblins and trim colors. Everything reaches as high as to touch God himself. The light is filtered and restricted through beautiful stained glass; the only energy source is the Almighty. One of the most beautiful examples of Gothic architecture must be the grandiose Cathedral of Burgos, Spain, consecrated in 1260 and still as impressive as it must have been to the people living almost 800 years ago. A masterpiece.
