Over the centuries, one of the greatest patrons of the arts was the Catholic Church. On his order they created the most distinguished artists. Despite the anti-Christian turmoil that swept through Europe, such as riots or iconoclasts French Revolution, today we can admire in the many churches the great sculptures, paintings, robes, and liturgical vessels. They represent sacred art. One of the finest examples of stained-glass windows. Real paintings on glass. Often they are having the character of not only religious but also secular. You can watch them in addition to the biblical scenes and coats of arms of donors as important to the city or country. These great works of art are often hundreds of years.
