Close-up of an Ancient Sardinian Rose Window in Cagliari

A hyper-detailed close-up of an ancient circular rose window on a historic building in Cagliari, Sardinia. The window features intricate stone tracery weathered by centuries, surrounding vibrant stained-glass panes in deep reds, cobalt blues, and sunlit amber. The sun casts a warm Mediterranean glow through the glass, projecting colorful reflections onto the rough, patinated limestone walls. Moss and lichen cling to the chipped stone, mortar lines crack and weather, and delicate dust motes float in a pale beam of light. The composition is a tight macro shot with a shallow depth of field, focusing on the stonework and tracery while a soft courtyard blur hints at history beyond. The mood is timeless and serene, a testament to medieval craftsmanship bathed in golden hour light.
