Eglise Sainte Radegonde, Poitiers, France 2010
Interior - Baptistère Saint-Jean
The 12C Iron Grill
North Side Toward Tower Base and Altar
The Notre Dame Cathedral
In Summer, the front of the cathedral is lit up with multicoloured lights, its some sort of tradition I think, but it looks really pretty! On my first day in Poitiers, we wandered down to the town centre and were welcomed by this multicoloured sight, it was really nice!
There are other objects of interest in the East end of the church. The transept serves as an antealtar with a rare and well designed mosaic floor. The expanse of the church width is best appreciated here. It is sealed off from the periphery by an elaborate 12C ironwork grill. On the left a carved capital on the first north nave column shows the burial of St.-Hilaire. Nearby is a massive carved stone statue of the Trinity with God wearing a tiara, holding a Jesus crucified with a Dove above Him.
