Cloisters (8, 9, 10 & 11)

[mbarrick]

Looking out from the Pontaut Chapter House toward the Cuxa Cloister.

This one amuses me. The stonework here is 900 years old, brought over to Manhattan from Gascony. The electical outlet, however, dates from 1935.

Vaulting in the Pontaut Chapter House, looking up and out toward the exterior wall.

A column capitol in the chapter house, with some of the vaulting in the background. This is looking in the opposite direction around the same pillar as the above photo.
