It is not surprising that in the Middle Ages an art form was developed in which the brilliance of simple colours is married to the brilliance of light. The developement of Gothic arquitecture which led to the virtual replacement of wall by windows provides the opportunity for combinig pictorial embellishment with intense luminiscense. It helped that Light was often cited as a metapfor for God , and even believed to be a manifestation of the deity. This tour will show you the color significance the conflicting aims of richness of colour and illumination of the interior,the meaning,symbolism and narration, you will learn how to read on the bildings estructure. The tour is completed with a walk to the "patios" of the Palma stately homes that make up a unique architectural space, with its own, different aesthetics without which the old centre would lose its identity which characterises it. That is why Palma is above all a city of patios. Fees entrance to cathedral are not included in this tour.
