What is a "rose window"?
A rose window is a circular stained glass window, often found in Gothic architecture, that features intricate designs resembling a flower. These windows are typically located high on the walls of cathedrals or churches, serving both decorative and symbolic purposes. The design consists of various colored glass segments arranged in patterns that can represent religious themes or natural motifs. Rose windows allow natural light to filter into the interior, creating a beautiful display of colored light. They are notable for their artistic craftsmanship and contribute significantly to the overall beauty and ambiance of the buildings in which they are found.
