♰🇪🇸 Breathtaking Chapel of Saint Anne 🇪🇸♰
🎥 The Chapel of Saint Anne, Cathedral of Saint Mary of Tudela, Tudela, Navarre, Spain 🇪🇸
A masterpiece of the Spanish Baroque. Built between 1712 and 1725. The original design is attributed to the Carmelite architect Fray Bernardo de San José.
The chapel houses a magnificent Baroque altarpiece by José Ortiz (1751–1753) which includes a brass baldachin by Roque Asín (1724). It preserves a 14th-century Gothic polychrome wood sculpture known as Santa Ana Triplex, depicting Saint Anne, the Virgin, and the Child. The space is historically significant as the site of a perpetual vow made by the city in 1530 and was celebrated as a wonder of its time for its ostentatious design and iconographic program extolling the saint's genealogy.

♰🇪🇸 Spectacular Choir of Toledo 🇪🇸♰
🎥 The Choir of the Primatial Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption, Toledo, Spain 🇪🇸
The choir stalls are spectacular: the lower tier dates from 1495–98 and depicts some of the Catholic Monarchs' conquests, while the upper tier—of greater artistic merit—was created in the Renaissance style in 1543 using various marbles and alabaster. Also notable are the two monumental 18th-century organs and, above all, the *Transfiguration of Christ*—a magnificent alabaster work by Alonso Berruguete, completed in 1548, which is situated above the archbishop's throne.
