"there’s a special word for it"

F-ing crazy-ass awesome? Is that what you were looking for?

By George, I think you've got it! :)

Wow- it's an unfamiliar angle so I can't tell - I never stood there and looked up. I'll check when I'm down next.

I suspect it's actually St Finbarre's Cathedral in Cork, but I'm still not actually *sure* of that... :)

Well I know it's NOT one of the churches in Kinsale and I'm almost certain it isn't the other but not 100%. So I'm good with it being Finbarre's - I've never been in there!

truly beautiful
obviously, I should have gone into more churches when last in Ireland.

I think the word you are looking for is apse

I think it's the Apse.(and I agree, it's stunning)

It's the apse, and I swear I've never seen pictures of anything even remotely like it. Wow.

It is, as others say, fricking gorgeous.

I wonder who the depictions are of? My initial thought was 'the 12 disciples', but there appears to be 22 images. All saints. Hmm!
