The focal point of this magnificent space is undoubtedly the round window that adorns one wall, drawing your gaze towards its elegant design. As you ascend the oval staircase nearby, you can't help but be captivated by the charm of these architectural elements.

"I feel wise indeed, " exclaimed the scarecrow standing beside an oculus depicting The Ascension of Christ from 1443-5. This stained glass masterpiece transports you back to a time when artistry and faith intertwined seamlessly. Moving on to St. George's Hall at Windsor Castle, we encounter another stunning example of round windows showcased in Royal Residences engravings by W. J. These windows allow natural light to flood into this regal space while offering glimpses into the world beyond. Intriguingly, another oculus depicts Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane from 1443-45; its vibrant stained glass colors telling stories through time-honored craftsmanship. Venturing outside architecture's embrace brings us to Abbazia di San Galgano's ruins—a testament to perseverance as it took seven decades for completion—and reminds us that even nature appreciates circular beauty. Finally, let us not forget churches such as San Francisco with their own unique interpretations of round windows—symbols connecting heaven and earth within their sacred walls. Round windows have stood as silent witnesses throughout history—inviting contemplation and inspiring awe with their timeless allure.
