THE VERJA, OR SCREEN, TOLEDO CATHEDRAL 



Behind this exquisitely hammered screen is the High Altar, a small church in itself. A 

 bewildering aggregation of small columns, niches, statues, foliage, and arabesques, painted 

 and gilded with matchless splendor, extends to the vaulted roof and all around the sanctuary.
