Close up of a stone bat sculpture. Both wings outstretched and a big grin on its face. Dark in colour
Stone walls and tiled Portuguese houses photographed from below. In centre there is a large gothic arched window with two lights. The bat sculptures are on the capital on the column dividing the two lights. There's no glass as it opens onto the cathdral cloister. Probably dates from the renovations of the early 20th century, although the cloister is originally 14th century. Bright blue sky above and to right
Close up of same window with a bat in the centre capital.
Happy Halloween from Leeds IMS - and from the friendly bats on this cloister window from Lisbon cathdral #medievalsky #gothicarchitecture #sedelisboa #bat #Halloween
