Panoramic Photographs Capture the Grandeur of Portugal’s Cathedrals

Traveling through five cities in Portugal, Richard Silver aims to document and preserve the grandeur of the country’s majestic cathedrals for his ongoing series ‘Vertical Churches.’ Each image takes between 5 to 9 photos pieced together to create a vertical panorama encompassing each structure’s grandeur. From the vibrant frescoes to the amazing architecture, each photographic homage preserves a bit of history in a breathtaking way. Visit Silver’s site to view more vertical churches taken from his visits to New York, Beijing, Mumbai, and Rome.
