Gatto Gotico

Santa Maria Maggiore, one of the most important architectural sites in Abruzzo. Built in 1227 according to Bourgogne-Cistercian lines, it was updated in 1540 in Baroque style, with the addition of two aisles and stucco decorations (recently stripped off). The main gate is from 1317.

    I like the processing, and of this this small cat at the forground. It makes the shot more interesting!

    Un beau cadrage que cette belle façade mérite bien.

    Wonderful image – I presume the cathedral belongs to the cat.

    Cute kitty on the left, nice touch and angle.

    Great capture! Love the sepia tones and the cat in the corner. It is amazing to me the age of the building. My area especially its rare to find anything that is over 100 years old, if that.

    liking the detail, and the cat is a great touch…

    WOW! Fantastic toning! Pretty dramatic. The cat fits very well to the rest. Also the pose of the cat is awesome. Great work!
