Interior Access
On entering the cathedral, the eye is immediately drawn to the elaborate apse with its golden hues and decoration. Every available inch of the eastern end is decorated with paint, mosaic and gilding. The amblatury which surrounds the apse gives glimpses through arches and ironwork to the golden ceiling above.
In addition to the decoration applied to the walls and roof, the apse and transepts of the cathedral have many decorative mosaics, stained glass and fixtures. These features combine with the structure of the building to create an elaborately decorated whole.
Whilst the apse and crossing are elaborate decorated, the nave of the church receives a plainer treatment, the stonework and sculpture remaining unpainted or ungilded. The capitals of the columns are the size that you would expect in a larger cathedral, unfortunetly the shafts of the columns are half the height that the scale of the capitals would demand.
