Interventions on the Cathedral (1903-1914)
Before Gaudí's intervention, the Cathedral of Palma
de Mallorca was different. The disposition of the choir and
the Baroque and Gothic altarpieces and the opacity of different
Gothic windows gave it an aspect that Pere Campins, the local
bishop, wanted to change and improve.
Amongst the several reforms carried out by the architect,
there is the elaboration of the windows using the procedure
of the combination of three glass plaques (with the primary
colours that, one behind the other and illuminated by the
sun, give out the secondary colours), as well as the installation
of a canopy, the decor of the walls and the making of the
furniture.
