A Spanish capital from 1175-2000. It shows Samson, complete with his long hair, fighting a lion with one of his attendants next to him. This capital and another accompanying it likely supported a principal arch at the entrance to the choir of a church. On a related note (related because the capital is from Spain!) I’m heading to Spain for a semester starting in January. I’d love any suggestions for cool Medieval things to see, whether it’s a museum, an old cathedral somewhere, or some ruins. I’m planning on doing some traveling too, so let me know if there are any great places in Europe I should add to my ever-growing list of places to see. Thanks a bunch! -- source link
