🇬🇧 UK | Glasgow Cathedral's JOJO-Style Stained Glass 🎨
Glasgow Cathedral (aka St. Mungo's Cathedral) is a Gothic masterpiece in Scotland’s heart—one of the best-preserved medieval cathedrals with jaw-dropping history, architecture, and stained-glass art! 📜 History Built in the 12th century to honor St. Mungo (Glasgow’s patron saint), whose tomb lies beneath the crypt. ▪️ Started as wood, rebuilt in stone by the 1100s ▫️ Survived the 16th-century Reformation—Scotland’s only intact medieval cathedral! ▪️ Now a free-to-visit active church. 🏛️ Gothic Architecture ▪️ Cross-shaped layout with nave, transepts, and choir ▫️ Pointed arches + flying buttresses = sky-high grandeur ▪️ Crypt = oldest part, housing St. Mungo’s tomb (a pilgrimage site) ▫️ Rare original wooden vaulted ceiling (still stunning!) 🌈 Stained Glass: JOJO Vibes! ▪️ Most original glass destroyed in Reformation; today’s = 19th–20th-century replacements ▫️ Themes: Bible tales, St. Mungo’s life, symbolism (peace, faith, resurrection) ▪️ East Window’s "Last Judgment" + West Window’s kaleidoscope colors = showstoppers ▫️ My take: The dramatic expressions, sharp lines, and bold colors feel straight out of JOJO’s Bizarre Adventure—anime IRL! 🤯 #GlasgowCathedral #StainedGlass #GothicArchitecture #ScotlandTravel #JOJOAesthetic #MedievalMagic #UKTravel 🏴✨
