SEVILLE. The Cathedral. Side Reja to the High Altar

Before the fall of the choir, the screens in Seville Cathedral were the most splendid in Spain, both in size and magnificence.

The example given is one of the lateral screens to the Capilla Mayor, wrought by Sancho Munoz in 1518, and although not so high and elaborate as that facing the high altar, it is of great beauty. The twisted pillars are of solid iron, and the cornices are formed of hammered iron plates. This screen is entirely gilded from top to bottom.
