Built by the Normans, it was consecrated in 1197 by the Archbishop Berardo. Henry VI, Holy Roman Emperor and Constance I of Sicily were present to witness the ceremony. The current building is the final result of some twentieth-century reconstructions, which took place following the disastrous earthquake that struck Messina in 1908 and the considerable damage that resulted from the heavy aerial bombardment in World War II.
Le décor peint fut exécuté en 1314 par un certain maître Jacques et deux collaborateurs anonymes.
Les peintures, dont le style trahit des influences italiennes et anglaises, relèvent
d’une conception d’ensemble, élaborée pour Amédée V, commanditaire exigeant

Elles ont pour sujet central le Christ, évoqué par thèmes illustrant sa généalogie, sa vie terrestre et sa résurrection. Ceux-ci sont strictement répartis dans l’espace:
les voûtes accueillent les figures de l’Ancien Testament, ainsi que celle de saint Jean-Baptiste
les parois nord et sud, des personnages du Nouveau Testament, évangélistes et apôtres
les deux autres parois sont dans un état qui ne permet pas l'interprétation

I went to a meetup in San Francisco a few weeks back and found this beautiful stained glass ceiling. Do you know, or can you guess where this is? The title gives a hint.
I processed a balanced and a paintery HDR photo from a RAW long exposure, then merged the two images.

UPDATE 2015-12-26: I took this shot when I went to an open house event at the Internet Archive in San Francisco. They purchased an old church and converted it into a workplace and datacenter. Quite unique. This is the glass ceiling of the main hall upstairs. The same hall also serves as a datacenter.
