Thematic Tour: Astronomy at the Cathedral

Discover the wonders of astronomy and cosmology within the Cathedral! Explore astronomical representations in religious art and architecture, from the illuminated texts of the middle ages to the frescoes of the Renaissance, and beyond. You’ll see how Gothic churches were used as solar observatories, and how the astronomical elements of our church complement the story of faith. Please let us know if there are any mobility issues so that we may best accommodate you.
