Sundial at the Corner of Santa Maria Maggiore Cathedral in Ciudad Real, Castile-La Mancha, Spain This image showcases the intricate detail of the Sundial located at the corner of the magnificent Cathedral of Santa Maria Maggiore in Ciudad Real, Castile-La Mancha, Spain. Built in 1531, this stunning architectural masterpiece is a testament to the rich history and artistic heritage of Castilian Spain. The Cathedral, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, is adorned with exquisite sculptures and intricate carvings, including the sculpted figure of the Cruciger, or crucifix-bearer, atop the tower. The Sundial, a functional work of art, adds an element of practicality and scientific curiosity to the religious structure. The Sundial, with its intricate design and globus, or sphere, at its center, serves as a reminder of the passage of time. The measurement of time was an essential aspect of daily life in the Middle Ages, and the Sundial was a common feature in both secular and religious architecture. The Cathedral of Santa Maria Maggiore, with its impressive Gothic architecture and historical significance, is a must-see destination for anyone interested in the art, history, and culture of Spain. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the world around us.
