Tomorrow morning: The light display in Palma's cathedral – a quiet natural wonder
How the Palma Cathedral light phenomenon is created
The Palma Cathedral light display is created by sunlight, coloured glass and the right angle.
Published: April 22, 2026
Answer
How does the light effect in Palma Cathedral happen?
The effect comes from the position of the sun, the cathedral’s rose window, and the coloured glass in the window. When the light enters at the right angle, it refracts and lands on the opposite wall as a bright pattern. It is a natural and architectural effect, not a stage show.
