The captivating beauty of cloisters transcends time and borders, enchanting all who wander through their hallowed halls. From the majestic Patio de los Arrayanes and Comares Tower in the Alhambra Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to the intricate fan vaulting adorning the interior of Gloucester Cathedral's cloisters, these architectural marvels leave visitors in awe. Journey to Iona Abbey on the Isle of Iona in Scotland, where finely carved capitals grace its cloisters, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. The Cloisters at New College in Winchester transport us back to 1928 with an enchanting engraving depicting a place steeped in history and learning. Travel across continents to Portugal's Douro Litoral region and discover Se Cathedral's 18th-century cloisters, a testament to Portugal's rich cultural heritage. In Germany's Maulbronn Monastery, designated as a UNESCO site itself, experience tranquility amidst its tower and cloisters that have witnessed centuries unfold. Closer to home lies Gloucester Cathedral in Gloucestershire; its late 14th-century cloisters exude an ethereal charm that transports visitors into another era. Step into Lacock Abbey's Cloisters captured beautifully in black and white photography - an image frozen in time yet brimming with stories waiting to be told. However, not all stories are filled with serenity.

Yet hope prevails as we explore Burrishoole Abbey near Newport or Canterbury Cathedral from within their tranquil cloistered havens. Whether it be admiring intricate carvings or finding solace within their peaceful embrace, these glimpses into various cloistered wonders remind us why they continue to captivate our imagination throughout history.
